Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes

These potatoes turn a beautiful golden color inside, not white like in the oven. Cooking the potatoes this way gives them a richer, deeper flavor.

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 2-10

Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: 4-10 hours  

Ingredients

slow cooker
baking potatoes
aluminum foil
2 paper towels

Directions

1. Scrub the potatoes super, squeaky clean and dry them completely.
2. Prick each potato a couple of times with a fork.
3.Wrap each potato tightly in the foil, place in the slow cooker and turn on low.
4. Take two paper towels (don’t rip them apart from each other) and lay them across the top of the slow cooker, but not down into it. Place the lid on top. That will keep the moisture that builds up from dripping down onto the potatoes.
5. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
