Description
These Slow Cooker Jacket Potatoes are the ultimate hands-off comfort food. With fluffy insides and perfectly seasoned skins, they cook effortlessly in the slow cooker, leaving you with tender, delicious potatoes ready for any topping you love.
Ingredients
4 large baking potatoes
2 tsp oil (olive or vegetable)
1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Rub the potatoes all over with oil and salt to season and help create a crisp skin.
- Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker in a single layer.
- Cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 5 hours, until tender when pierced with a knife.
- Optional: For crispy skins, transfer the cooked potatoes to a preheated oven at 220°C (450°F) for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, cheese, beans, or sour cream and chives.
Notes
For extra flavor, try seasoning the skins with garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, or thyme before wrapping.
Use melted butter instead of oil for a richer taste.
Sweet potatoes can be cooked the same way with identical timings.
No need to add water to the slow cooker — the potatoes cook perfectly in their own steam.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
