What Makes This Slow Cooker Baked Potato Recipe a Keeper

  • Whip up fluffy, fork-tender baked potatoes seasoned with bright olive oil and flaky kosher salt, all with zero active stovetop work thanks to your slow cooker.

  • Home cooks everywhere rave about this totally hands-off method that delivers perfectly cooked potatoes every single time.

  • Allrecipes community member Kate shares: "This is so easy! It totally streamlines my weekly meal prep."


Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes, thoroughly scrubbed clean

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt, to taste

  • 4 sheets of aluminum foil


Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Gather and prep all your ingredients first.

  2. Pierce each potato multiple times all over with a fork, then rub the entire skin with olive oil and season evenly with salt.

  3. Wrap each potato tightly in a sheet of foil, then place all wrapped potatoes directly into your slow cooker.

  4. Cook until the potatoes are completely tender: 7 ½ hours on the Low heat setting, or 4 ½ to 5 hours on the High heat setting.

  5. Top with your favorite mix-ins and enjoy!
