Slow Cooker Baked Potato Recipe:
Ingredients
Desired number of potatoes
Olive oil
Salt
Aluminum foil
A fork
Preparation
Clean and dry the potatoes. Remove any eyes or imperfections. With a fork, poke holes all around each potato.
Lightly coat each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to your preference.
Tightly wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place them in the slow cooker.
Set the cooker on low and cook for 7-8 hours. Alternatively, if you’re in a bit of a hurry, cook on high for 4-5 hours.
When they’re soft and ready, serve and garnish to your heart’s content – think cheese, sour cream, and crispy bacon.
With this method, baked potatoes become both an effortless and gourmet treat. Enjoy your elevated potato experience!
