Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Aluminum foil
  • fork
  • tongs

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes under cool running water and pat completely dry.
  • Poke each potato 6–8 times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Rub each potato thoroughly with oil. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt, coating all sides.
  • Wrap each potato snugly in aluminum foil, sealing completely.
  • Place foil-wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker in an even layer. Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until fork-tender.
  • Carefully remove with tongs. Let rest a few minutes, unwrap, slice open, fluff with a fork, and serve hot.

Notes

Use evenly sized russet potatoes for best results. Avoid stacking in the slow cooker for even cooking. Leftovers store well for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
