I am looking for a slow cooker sweet potato recipe (not using canned) that tastes like traditional sweet potatoes. I have searched the web and can't find any with that traditional taste. I am hoping one of you have such a recipe, or maybe suggestions on how I can make up my own slow cooker recipe using butter and brown sugar, and suggestions of cooking times. Any help is appreciated.

I need a TNT sweet potato recipe for the slow cooker.
Thanks,

The following recipe is from "Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker" and is fantastic!
Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Dried Cranberries:
Place sweet potato slices in a lightly oiled slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine apple juice and brown sugar and pour over potatoes. Season w/salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, until potatoes are tender.
Just before serving, smash the potatoes w/a potato masher until smooth and fold in cranberries. Serve hot. (11/22/2005)
