Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes well under cold water and pat them dry.
- Place the potatoes on a cutting board, baking sheet, or clean countertop and pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. I pierce each potato about 10 times. I would rather over than under do it to prevent one from exploding!
- Evenly drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and evenly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use your hands to lightly massage it all in.
- I recommend wrapping each potato tightly in non-stick heavy duty aluminum foil which ensures the interiors stay moist and juicy and don't dry out, although this step is technically optional.
- Place the potatoes in a 7 to 8-quart slow cooker and cook on high for about 5 to 6 hours OR on low for about 7 to 8 hours, or until done.* (See Notes)
- Unwrap, slice, and serve as desired including by adding additional salt and pepper, butter, shredded cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, chives or however you like your potatoes.
- Extra potatoes will keep whole, sliced, or diced airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- *To check for doneness, insert a steak knife right through the foil and into center of one of the largest potatoes. If there is no resistance, they are ready! If there is any resistance, keep on slow cooking them. There is very little danger in "overcooking" them since a slow cooker cooks at such a low temperature in comparison to an oven.
