Coconut Pecan Sweet Potatoes

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

2 pounds Sweet Potatoes, peeled and shredded
1/3 cup Brown Sugar, packed
1/4 cup Margarine or Butter, melted
1/4 cup Coconut
1/4 cup broken Pecans, toasted
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Coconut Flavoring

 
   
Preparation:  
   

In a 3-1/2 qt slow cooker, combine potatoes, sugar, margarine, coconut, pecans and cinnamon. Cover; cook on LOW for 6 to 8 or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.

Stir in coconut flavoring and vanilla. Sprinkle with toasted coconut if desired.

And of course, there's alwasy the classic sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. I like to add a small can of pineapple tidbits with juice to the mashed sweet potatoes while mashing with the butter, salt and cinnamon.
