How to make Baked Potatoes in the Slow Cooker:

You will need:

• 6-quart slow cooker
• 6-7 russet potatoes
• Foil

Directions:

• Wash and dry your potatoes, removing any dirt.
• Wrap each potato in a piece of foil being sure to cover the entire potato.
• Add the potatoes to the slow cooker, spreading them out. Try not to pack them in. Put the potatoes in two layers.
• Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

Can I add oil and salt to the skins of the potatoes?

• Yes, if you like to oil and salt the skins of the potatoes before wrapping in foil it works fine for this recipe.
• Make sure to dry the potatoes well before adding the oil and salt.

Can I cook the potatoes without foil?

• You certainly can! I know some can not cook with foil for health reasons.
• This recipe will work fine without wrapping in foil if you don’t want to use it.

Can I use an instant pot instead of a slow cooker?

You can use an instant pot instead of a slow cooker if you don’t have time to slow cook. I use this recipe for Instant Pot Baked Potatoes.
