I learned about this technique for baking a large number of potatoes during a cooking demonstration from The Cancer Project (http://www.cancerproject.org/) . I have done it for white, Yukon golds, and sweet potatoes. It works like a charm.

3-5 pound bag of potatoes

Wash them well. Put into a large crock-pot and cook on low for 7-9 hours until you can easily pierce them with a fork.

That’s it! Serve with a meal, freeze, or use as an ingredient in another recipe. Here are a few recipes on my web site to use.

Sweet potato burritos
Sweet potato and tofu pancakes
Black bean and sweet potato quesadillas
Kale and carrot soup
Autumn minestrone soup
No guilt potato salad
Potato torta with peppers and olives
