Thanksgiving Side Ingredients:

8 servings

Slender sweet potatoes (4 pounds; peeled and cut into 1-inch thick slices)

Cooked bacon (3 slices; crumbled)

Cornstarch (2 teaspoons)

Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (1/2 cup; chopped)

Fresh rosemary (2 teaspoons; chopped)

2 garlic cloves (minced)

Kosher salt (2 tablespoons)

Light brown sugar (3 tablespoons)

Butter (4 tablespoons; melted)

Orange zest (1 tablespoon)

Frozen orange juice concentrate (1/2 cup; thawed)

Cold water (1 tablespoon)

Thanksgiving Side Dish Directions:

  1. Take a 5- to 6-qt. slow cooker and place the sweet potato slices into it.
  2. Take a small bowl and stir together orange juice concentrate, butter, kosher salt, light brown sugar, and chopped rosemary. Pour over the potato slices and toss to coat.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook until the potato slices are tender or for 5-1/2 to 6 hours at LOW heat.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potato slices to a serving dish. Keep the cooking liquid into the cooker and increase the heat to HIGH.
  5. Mix 1 tablespoon cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl until the mixture becomes smooth. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and whisk for 3 to 5 minutes or until the liquid becomes thick. Pour the sauce over the potato slices in the serving dish.
  6. Mix together minced garlic, chopped parsley, and orange zest. Sprinkle the parsley mixture over the potatoes.
  7. Finally, serve the potatoes after sprinkling the crumbled bacon over them.
