Cooking Instructions

Step 1
To start your delicious slow-cooked sweet potatoes, first, prepare your slow cooker by either lining it with a liner or giving it a light greasing.
Step 2
Next, take your peeled and chopped sweet potatoes and place them right into the slow cooker, creating a vibrant base for your dish.
Step 3
Now, pour in the rich heavy whipping cream, and don’t forget to sprinkle a generous amount of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the sweet potatoes for that irresistible cheesy flavor.
Step 4
To elevate the taste, add a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and a hint of ground nutmeg, which will bring warmth and depth to your dish.
Step 5
Gently stir everything together, ensuring that the sweet potatoes are well-coated with the creamy mixture and seasonings.

Cover your slow cooker and set it to the Low setting, allowing the sweet potatoes to cook for about 2 to 3 hours, or until they become fork-tender.
Step 7
Remember to stir occasionally during cooking; this little step helps everything cook evenly and enhances the flavors.

Finally, scoop those delightful mashed sweet potatoes into a serving dish, and get ready to enjoy a comforting side that’s sure to impress your family and friends.
