Crockpot
Baked Potatoes
Prep the potatoes by running them under warm water, using your fingers or a veggie brush to remove any dirt or residue. Then pat dry with a kitchen towel. Use a fork to pierce potatoes on all sides around 8-10 times per potato.
Next rub each potato with olive oil and season the outside of each potato with salt and pepper. Place potatoes on the bottom of your crockpot and then place the lid on top. Turn your crockpot to high and let your potatoes cook on high for anywhere from 4-6 hours. Cook time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes. If the flesh is still hard on the inside, cook them a little bit longer.
Let potatoes cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and topping with your favorite toppings.
