Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Russet potatoes (medium to large, scrubbed clean)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil (optional for wrapping)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove dirt and debris.
Pat the potatoes dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato with a small amount of olive oil to coat it evenly.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are seasoned on all sides.
Optionally, wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil for softer skins.
Place the prepared potatoes directly into the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overcrowded.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, depending on the size of your potatoes. They are done when a fork easily pierces through the center.
Once done, remove the potatoes carefully, as they will be hot. If wrapped in foil, unwrap them gently.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, or chives.
