I made a “test run” of these before making them for my thanksgiving dinner. They were delicious. So they’re in the crockpot to tomorrow’s dinner. And so easy.

I’ve had this recipe open for a month and a half and I *finally* made it last night. I cut the potatoes too small so they got extra soft and I used too much marinade – but they were delicious! I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing! :-)

tis will come in extra handy considering my mom only has one oven and about 8 dishes for us to prepare on Thursday!

yeah, I was a little concerned about the lack of liquid, too, but if you say it worked via steam, I’ll ttoally try this!

I’m making this for Thanksgiving this year because it looks easy and my family doesn’t care for my cooking. I think I can succeed with this, though. I don’t think they’ll like the skins on them though. Would it be okay to peel them first before baking?

I just found this recipe also and will use it for Thanksgiving. I am hosting the meal for the first time in my life in a new house, new kitchen, family from out of town staying over – YIKES!!!

I realize that this post is almost a year old, but I just found it. This recipe sounds divine, and I will be making it for Turkey Day. Thanks for sharing!

Noel – When I first made it I only used 1lb and there was to much marinade. So for Thanksgiving I upped it and used 4 potatoes. I didn’t weigh it however so I can’t give you a poundage.

You can see my experiment video here.. link to youtube.com Skip to 2:35 into it or the potato part. it may help.

It REALLY depends on how big your potatoes are. If they are like the ones I had in the video (about 1 lb each) I’d go for 2 per the marinade I have above. But if you have 4lbs or more I’d double what I have above.

I hope this is making sense! LOL Just so you know you really can’t mess it up and you really only need a bit of the marinade to bring out the flavor of the potatoes.

Roni — It says you used 1 lb of potatoes, but it also says 4 large sweet potatoes (~5 inches long). I picked up 4 large sweet potatoes at the grocery store, and I weighed them after they were bagged and found they were about 3 lbs. Are you sure you used 1 lb? I am trying to figure out the discrepancy….I have the ingredients and want to try the recipe, just want to make sure I don’t have the ratios off.

Thanks!

First, I’d like to say I’ve been reading your posts for a while and thank you for all the wonderful ideas and words of encouragement.

Next, these potatoes sound delish! I just started making sweet potatoes within the past 2 months, and I found that boiling them in water with cinnamon really gives them a nice kick.

Thanks for all the wonderful updates and product info, keep up the great work!

This sounds SO good that I want to try it before Thanksgiving! And, Krista’s ingredients sound good too. Thanks for a great idea, Roni! You have been one busy little beaver with the cooking lately, haven’t you? Hope everything turns out perfect for Turkey Day!

What a fantastic idea! I’m swapping honey, balsamic vinegar, and allspice for maple syrup, cider vinegar, and pumpkin pie spice. Can’t wait to see how it turns out! Thanks, Roni. You rock.

I was worried about the liquid too! But it worked, they sort of “steamed” in there. It was nice.

Aww man, those look so good but my stepson has asked for the traditional (I don’t eat mine with marshmallows blech) but hubby and stepson do. First time he has had Thanksgiving with us for as long as I can remember so he gets what he wants this year ha ha.

Those look really tasty though.

They do look fantastic … but is that enough liquid for the crock pot? Seems like it’s a bit dry. Guess I’ll have to try it to find out, eh?

Wow, girl, you are brave for taking on Thanksgiving all by yourself! These look great!!

Anna – I think Apple cider would be better then fine! It would add a nice flavor! Try it and let us know!

Kalyn at Kalyn’s Kitchen also made sweet potatoes in the crock pot also but your recipe’s are definately different. Your’s are sweet and her’s are spicy. I love that you can cook a Thanksgiving side without using the stove and oven. Those spaces are always in high demand on Thanksgiving day.
