Instructions:
- Peel and wash the potatoes. Poke each one with a fork to create several holes.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place them in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
- Once tender, remove and serve. Top with your favorite garnishes like cheese, sour cream, or bacon.
Pro Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a sprig of rosemary or a few garlic cloves to the slow cooker.
- Avoid overpacking the slow cooker—leave space between potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Want crispy skin? After slow cooking, pop the potatoes in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 400°F.
- Try using different potato varieties like Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.
