My brother and sisters and spouses met this weekend at my sisters for dinner. It was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. My sister took and peeled sweet potatoes....and cut them in thick slices and laid them at the bottom of her slow cooker...then topped them with a mixture of brown sugar, butter, and water. She then laid two pork loins on top....and cooked them in her slow cooker for about 10 hours! It was very yummy! I forget sometimes to have sweet potatoes other then the holidays. Do you eat sweet potatoes for more then just the holidays?

I eat them, jillhill, but only because they are good for me. They are way too sweet - I can't even imagine them with brown sugar. Like squash, I make them savory, lots of garlic and pepper and such to kill the sweet taste.
I really want to get a slow cooker - this sounds yummy - the potatos (I'd use white) and porkchops.

I can have a sweet potatoes here in my country anytime through out the year. We have it very much and the price is very low as compare to the potatoes. We have several type of sweet potatoes here which with a slightly oranges/yellow color, pale pumpkin color and the white with some purple colors. But they all taste sweet and easy to cook. I love sweet potatoes as my dessert or cakes. I haven't tried any sweet potatoes in my main dish yet, but yours sound very tasty. I am gonna try it with the beef since I cannot eat pork.

I eat sweet taters and or yams anytime I feel like one. I love them baked then smotherd in butter and or garlic added as well. Yummy.
But I hate pork for some reason. Too fatty I think is all.

I eat sweet potatoes all the time. I went to a natural path over a year ago now and potatoes was one of the foods I could not have. Sweet potatoes and yams were allowed. I do have white potatoe sometimes now because I could them for my family but I am so happy I got out of the habbit of thinking it always had to be white potatoes. So I had sweet potatoes two nights ago and a few days ago I had yams with the brown sugar sprinkled over top.

Thank you so much for this Jillhill. We always eat sweet potatoes, the oragne ones are my favorite but I have never tried this one. I'll try it when I get home. My mother would just usually have sweet potatoes boiled and then that's it. Sometimes, the boiled sweet potatoes are mashed, butter and sugar is then mixed with it, then chilled. It's makes a good heavy snack. :).
