Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Sweet Potato the orange ones approximately 2 large or 3 medium
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced into ¼ inch wedges
  • 21/4 lbs pork butt
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar & chili dry rub see recipe below
  • 2-3 tablespoon fire roasted green chilies
  • optional: 2 tablespoon apple cider or white vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large 4 inch chunks, about 6 pieces per potato.
  • Place the potato, onion and chilies in the slow cooker in an even layer. Add the optional vinegar if desired.
  • Split your roast into 2 pieces and pat the dry rub over all sides of both pieces. Set the roast on top of the vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. The pulled pork is ready to serve when it easily pulls apart with a fork. Shred the pork into the potatoes and serve hot.

Notes

If needed, coax skeptical diners to try this by adding a dab of barbecue sauce.
