Ingredients for Baked Sweet Potatoes Steak House Style

  • Yam
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Aluminum Foil
  • 1 tablespoon butter (per sweet potato)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (per sweet potato)

How to Make Baked Sweet Potatoes Steak House Style

  1. Select 2-4 medium-sized yams (about the same size).
  2. Wash yams thoroughly under cold running water.
  3. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut out a small (nickel-sized) wedge from the side of each yam. This prevents them from bursting during cooking.
  4. Drizzle yams generously with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ensuring all sides are coated.
  5. Wrap each yam securely in a large piece of aluminum foil.
  6. Repeat the foil wrapping process two more times, rotating the yam slightly each time to create multiple layers of foil. This helps to retain moisture and heat.
  7. Place the foil-wrapped yams in your slow cooker.
  8. Add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  9. Turn the slow cooker to low.
  10. Cook for 4-5 hours, or on low all day if desired. The longer they cook, the softer they become.
  11. Once cooked, carefully unwrap the yams.
  12. Top each sweet potato with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
