Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes and dry them well. Poke each potato a few times with a fork.
- Rub olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle all sides of potatoes with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours, until potatoes are tender in the center when pierced with a fork.*
Optional, to crisp the skins:
- Place the baked potatoes on baking sheet (line with foil if desired, but not parchment since you cannot place parchment paper under the broiler).
- Place under the broiler in the oven for 3-7 minutes, until skins begin to get golden and crisp. Watch the potatoes closely so they don't burn.
Notes
- The cook time in this recipe is for medium or medium/large russet potatoes. Small potatoes will cook faster and extra large potatoes will need more time.
- About 6 medium-large russet potatoes will fit in a 5-6 quart slow cooker.
