Baked Potatoes in Slow Cooker
Report
Baked Potatoes in Slow Cooker are one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd with very little hands on time. Simply clean, prick, and place the potatoes in the crock pot and let the appliance do the rest. I promise, you will never make baked potatoes another way again!

Instructions
- Rinse the baking potatoes really well, pat dry, and then prick the potatoes with the tines of a fork a few times.
- Place the baking potatoes in the slow cooker (DO NOT ADD WATER) and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Remove cooked baked potatoes from the slow cooker and prick with a fork to open. Fluff the inside of the potato with the tines of the fork, then place the toppings, one by one in the potato. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Water - No need to add water into the slow cooker. Potatoes contain moisture and will let off some allowing for steam to be created. Think of it as a sauna for potatoes.
- Foil - I have tested this recipe multiple times with wrapping the potatoes in foil and to be honest they yield the same result. I see it as a waste of good foil so no need to waste!
- Crispy Skin - If you love crispy baked potato skin simply spray the outside skin of the potato with avocado oil spray, then place the cooked baked potatoes under the broiler for 1 minute (or less) until crisp but not burnt. Make sure you watch them extra closely to avoid burning.
- Overcooked - If you cook the baked potatoes for more than 10 hours the insides will begin to brown a little.
- Entertaining - If you are entertaining you can make the potatoes ahead of time then place toppings next to the slow cooker for guest to add toppings to there potatoes.
- Leftover baked potatoes - If you have leftover baked potatoes you can transform them into my Baked Potato Wedges, add it to baked potato soup, or even make them as breakfast potatoes the next day.
