Did you know that you can make baked potatoes in your slow cooker? Here is a super easy recipe for crock-pot baked potatoes made with olive oil. 

Recipe - serves 4

  • 4 potatoes

  • salt to taste
  • 4 sheets of aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Prick washed potatoes with a fork several times.
  2. Rub potatoes with extra virgin olive oil (let potatoes dry before applying olive oil).
  3. Sprinkle with salt.
  4. Wrap each potato in foil.
  5. Place the potatoes into a slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours until tender.
