Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes

Do you cook Baked Potatoes in your slow cooker? If you cook baked potatoes in your slow cooker, you will save time  and energy costs which means this is a money saving recipe! This makes for a easy meal or side during the week.

I put baked potatoes on the menu recently as part of a potato bar. This way each person could customize their baked potato to make it just how they wanted it. This worked out nicely since we had leftover taco meat and green onions from a taco bar earlier in the week! :)

So this is so simple. Wash and pat dry your potatoes.

Baked Potatoes in Slow Cooker

 

Use a fork or a knife and make several slits in the baked potatoes. This will allow the steam to escape while the potatoes are cooking so they don’t explode. Go ahead, stick a fork in it.

Clean Baked Potatoes

If you want to brush with olive oil, go ahead now. Maybe even top off with a little salt and pepper. I’ve done these with olive oil and without and it turns out nicely either way. I put on a pan at this step just so I don’t get oil all over the counter.

Wrap in foil.

Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes Instructions

Place lid on slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.  The final result was a slow cooker full of moist and yummy “baked potatoes” and I didn’t even have to turn my oven on. Plus, no waiting when I got home from work. You can have your prep completed the night before even so all you have to do is turn on the slow cooker in the morning. Super simple.

I like my potato with melted cheese, sour cream, and green onions! Sometimes I substitute ranch for sour cream depending on what we have in the refrigerator.

    Leftover baked potatoes are really great for making quick, easy hashbrowns.
    Just peel off the skin (it comes off easily after they have been refrigerated, cut into small squares and brown in oil or butter.

    I think I’ll try this without wrapping in foil to be really money-saving!

      I don’t ever use foil. They turn out great. I also do my sweet potatoes this way as well – minus the olive oil and salt & pepper. I just scrub the potatoes and place them in crock pot. Easy!
