4 hours on high was perfect. I added nothing, not a drop of water. The sweet potatoes were soft and sweet, and there was lovely natural syrup in the bottom. (I didn’t stuff them; just cooked in the crockpot and mashed with butter, salt, and pepper. 5-year-old grandson loved it.)

I used pickled beets. Delicious dressing for any salad.

Made this 3/24/2026. Fabulous. Nice complement to the creamy mushroom pork chops from Julia Child's "The Way to Cook."

I love the freedom in Jacques’s suggestion to do what he did as a cook in restaurants: crumble whatever you have on hand for the topping. Leftover pound cake, cookies, croissants, brioche, any kind of cake…
