Crock Pot Baked Potatoes
Description
Crock Pot Baked Potatoes involve preparing large baking potatoes by poking them with a fork to create vents, then rubbing them with olive oil and sprinkling salt on the skin. Each potato is wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and placed in the bottom of a slow cooker.
The crock pot is set on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours until the potato flesh becomes fork tender. This slow and gentle cooking method ensures evenly cooked potatoes with a softly seasoned skin. Unwrapping the potato reveals fluffy interior ready for slicing and fluffing with a fork.
These baked potatoes can serve as a flexible side dish and be topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, or any preferred toppings. The method is convenient for cooking potatoes while attending to other tasks, as no oven is required.
