Equipment

  • 4 sheets aluminum foil

  • Brush
  • Small bowl for olive oil
  • Aluminum foil
  • Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 baking potatoes, well-scrubbed
  • kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Poke the potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
  • Arrange the wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker, ensuring they fit snugly.
  • Cook on Low for about 7 1/2 hours or on High for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, until they’re soft when pierced.
  • Unwrap, add your favorite toppings, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use similar-sized potatoes for even cooking.
  • For crispy skin, finish the cooked potatoes in an oven or air fryer for a few minutes.
