Description

The easiest way to make baked potatoes! With 5 minutes of prep time + hands-off cook time this will be your new favorite baked potato recipe!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 46 medium-sized russet potatoes
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prep: Wash potatoes and dry with paper towel. Pierce each potato 3-4 times with fork.
  2. Oil + Salt: Place potatoes on a plate and drizzle with olive oil; rub all over to coat. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt.
  3. Slow Cook: Place inside slow cooker and cover (no need for liquid). Let cook on HIGH setting for 3-4 hours or on LOW setting for 7-8 hours. Remove and serve immediately.
  4. Serve: Enjoy with all of your favorite toppings – we love to turn them into a Loaded Baked Potato or Chili Baked Potato!

Notes

  • Crispy Potato Skins: if you want extra-crispy skins feel free to place under broiler for a minute or two or even on the grill.
  • Cook time listed in the recipe card is for cooking potatoes on the high setting.
