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.

Go to Google and type in crock pot recipes.
Also, it works well with Google, "crockpot recipes sweet potatoes" and recipes for sweet potatoes using crockpots come right up too.
This isn't an answer to your question, but since you don't have many, I will tell you how I do mine. The day before I plan to serve sweet potatoes, I boil them whole, with the peeling still on them. Take them out before they are too done. Put them in the fridge.
We eat sweet potatoes often and what I do is simply put them in the crockpot and had a bit of water and they steam. You then can add seasonings etc. Last time we made them we added olive oil and spicy seasoning and kept them in thick slices - not mashed. These are so easy to make and freeze. I'll make a bunch, keep them plain and freeze. Take out the amount you want and season. You could easily do this now and save time at turkey day!
