Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes

Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes are delicious and so easy to make!  Just wrap them in foil and toss them into your slow cooker, and you’ll have perfect potatoes for dinner!

Have you tried baking potatoes in your slow cooker?  This is such a great way to roast them…it’s simple and fuss free.  I know it’s easy enough to bake potatoes in the oven, but the nice thing about using a crockpot/slow cooker to roast potatoes is that the potatoes can bake during the day when you’re away.

All you have to do is wrap them in some tin foil and put them into the slow cooker to roast while you’re at work or out and about during the day.  Then when you get home, the potatoes will be ready in time for dinner. Using a slow cooker is also great for hot summer days when you don’t want to use your oven.  The result is a perfectly tender and delicious baked potato.  Yum.

Recipe Tips!

• Make sure to pierce the potatoes with a fork before you bake them
• You don’t have to add water to your slow cooker before baking
• You can bake the potatoes on low for longer, or on high for a shorter period of time, but I prefer to cook them low and slow.
