Directions: |
Directions:You can cook whatever quantity suits you, as long as you don't fill your slow cooker more than 3/4 full. I can fit approx. 4 lbs of spuds in my 6.5 qt. slow cooker. Olive oil -- this is optional, but it adds flavor while the spuds cook; feel free to omit it if you prefer a plain potato more similar to a regular oven baked potato. salt & pepper -- also optional, but adds flavor; I prefer freshly ground sea salt and black pepper. herbs, garlic powder, other seasonings -- all optional. I normally just stick with salt and pepper; but you can add more flavors, if you like.
-Wash and scrub the potatoes, removing any rotten or bad spots. Let the potato skins dry on the outside before proceeding. It only takes a few minutes.
-Prick each potato with a fork--approx. 6-8 times per potato. This keeps them from exploding when steam builds up inside as they cook.Place potatoes on a large baking sheet or dish (to contain the mess), drizzle a little olive oil on each one, and rub oil all over each potato with your hands.
=Sprinkle on salt and pepper, or whatever other herbs or seasonings your little heart desires. Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil, sealing them up tightly. Place the wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker, foil seam side up. No need to grease the inside of the crock pot or add any liquid. Cook them dry--there's no mess or clean up when you're through. Cook them on low for 8 hours (slow cooker times may vary), until tender when pressed with fingers. |

Notes: This is such a great easy way to make baked potatoes! For our grandson Jackson's 4th birthday party he had it at the lake a day filled with kayaking, swimming, playing in the sand, playing on the swing sets, & canoeing, what a fun birthday that was. So, I wanted to bring something to help feed all these birthday party people so I brought baked potatoes & put them in my big roaster & brought all kinds of fixings for baked potatoes, cheese, sour cream, bar-b-que sauce, bacon, ranch dressings, & so much more! It was a potato bar & it went over really well.
