Recipe Ingredients

  •   4 sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 250g pre-grated mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)
  • 10 slices of chorizo
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 6 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How To Make Slow Cooker Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them gently with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each potato in a piece of foil and seal tightly. Place in the slow cooker and cook on high for about 6 hours. Cooking time may vary depending on potato size.
  2. Stuff the potatoes: Once cooked, slice the sweet potatoes open and top with mozzarella, chorizo, and sun-dried tomatoes. Grill or air fry at 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes until the cheese melts and the chorizo crisps up.
  3. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with spring onions and serve hot.

Recipe Tips

  • Prick the sweet potatoes well: Make sure to prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before cooking to help them cook evenly and avoid them bursting in the slow cooker.
  • Use foil tightly: Wrap the sweet potatoes tightly in foil to lock in moisture, ensuring they cook soft and tender.
  • Adjust cooking time for size: Larger sweet potatoes might need a little extra cooking time. Check them after 6 hours and add more time if needed.
  • Grill or air fry for crispy texture: After topping the sweet potatoes, grilling or air frying at 180°C (350°F) will melt the cheese and crisp up the chorizo for the perfect texture.
  • Customize with toppings: Feel free to add other toppings like sour cream, avocado, or fresh herbs to suit your taste.

Recipe FAQs and Variations

Can I Use a Different Cheese?

Yes, you can use any cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, gouda, or Monterey Jack.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Absolutely! Swap the chorizo for plant-based sausages or sautéed vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover stuffed sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

Yes, regular potatoes work too, though the cooking time may vary. They won’t have the same sweetness but will still be delicious.

Can I add more vegetables?

Feel free to add spinach, kale, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor. Just sauté them before adding to the potatoes.
