Instructions

Notes

Cooking Times
Cooking times can vary slightly due to the size difference of sweet potatoes and how different crock pots heat at different temperatures. 
 
Storage & Leftovers
While best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.  Reheat leftovers in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
 
Freezing
You can freeze the baked sweet potatoes by wrapping them individually in foil.  Put them in a freezer safe container and they will keep for up to three months.  Thaw completly before trying to reheat.
