Slow Cooker Peach Salsa Pork

New job, so time to experiment with crockpot options for meals ready to eat back at home.  I was hesitant to try this one, since pre-made peach salsa seems like a bit of a shortcut.  But it does make it so simple and easy - just three ingredients!  To wit:

Recipe

2+ lb boneless pork roast
1+ lbs sweet potatoes
2 c peach salsa
vegetable oil, salt & pepper

Chop your sweet potato into 1" chunks - no need to go too small! - and place in the bottom of the crockpot.  Heat a tbsp oil in a heavy skillet.  Season your roast with salt & pepper.  Brown on all sides, then place on top of sweet potatoes.  Pour over the salsa.  Heat on high 4-5 hours, or low 7-9.

Serve with rice, spicy sesame oil, cilantro, parsley, chopped green onion, anything else.

Notes

It took a while to get to this since it's not quite as simple as putting everything in the crockpot and setting it to go for a while.  But it came out well in the end!  The original recipe tells you to neatly slice your pork into chops, but as soon as I tried to do that it shredded.  Not a problem though!  The way my day went, it cooked on the higher end of the time range so maybe dried out a little; a little extra salsa can address that.  The sweet potatoes came out amazing...
