Say hello to the ultimate hack—Crock Pot Baked Potatoes! Forget about heating up your entire kitchen with the oven. We’re talking set-it-and-forget-it convenience that turns out fluffy, restaurant-worthy baked potatoes every time.
Wash the potatoes and dry with a paper towel. Prick 5 to 10 times around the sides of the potato with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking.
Tear off a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fully enclose the potato. Place the potato in the center of the foil. Fold the sides over the potato, then twist the ends. Make sure it’s wrapped tightly so none of that precious steam escapes.
Place the potatoes into a slow cooker, keeping them in a single layer if possible. Cook time will vary. Cook on low for 8-10 hours and high for 4-5 hours.
When ready to eat, carefully remove the potatoes from the crock pot and add your favorite toppings.
