Candied Yams Crock Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch in a bowl to coat well. Add the mixture to a slow cooker and dot with the butter. Sprinkle over the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cayenne.

• Toss the potatoes once more and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the walnuts and parsley and serve.
