Ingredients

  • 4 Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes under cold water and pat dry. Use a fork to prick the potato skins in several places.
  • Rub the potatoes with olive oil to coat then season with salt and black pepper.
  • Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a slow cooker. Seal the lid and cook on Low setting for 2 1/2-3 hours. (To avoid burning, high heat is not recommended)
  • Use a fork to test for doneness. The fork should easily pierce the skin of the potatoes.
  • Lift the cooked potatoes out of the slow cooker and place onto a cutting board. With each potato, slice just across the top lengthwise then make a small cut across that line. Pinch and gently press the ends together to open up the potato. Add your favorite toppings and serve hot.
  • If not serving right away, switch the slow cooker to the Warm setting for up to 2-3 hours.
