Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes {Repost}

I had one of those very rare weekday occasions when we all gathered around the dinner table....at the same time!  I was feeling particularly giddy with myself over this new recipe.  My family is used to seeing me this way because I tend to get a little over-excited when a new recipe turns out...it's like I had a permanent grin all through dinner from watching someone eating a baked potato. Ahhh...sometimes it's the simple things in life that give you the most pleasure.

Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes

These potatoes were moist & delicious....And they're Super Easy to make!

Here's what you'll need:

Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes



6 Medium Potatoes (I used Russet)

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Clean & rinse potatoes (my vegetable scrubber worked really well for this).  Thoroughly pat dry. Poke holes around the potatoes with a fork. Next, Combine Oil, Salt and Pepper in medium sized bowl.  Roll one potato at a time in oil mixture, until completely coated.

Place in slow cooker.  Cook for approximately 3 hours on High, or 6 hours on low setting.  Depending on the size of your potatoes, cooking time may vary. (The original recipe called for 4 hours on high, but my medium size potatoes were done in 3 hours)

Sweet potatoes can be "baked" in the slow cooker too!
