How to Make Baked Potatoes From The Crock Pot

  1. Wash and scrub 4-6 russet potatoes thoroughly.
  2. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Place potatoes in a greased slow cooker (6-quart or larger).
  4. Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove potatoes from slow cooker and let cool slightly.
  7. Top with your favorite baked potato toppings (butter, cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, etc.).
  8. Enjoy your perfectly baked potatoes as a side dish or the star of a complete crock-pot meal!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
