Cook in the Crock Pot

Place the foil-wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on the low setting for approximately 7 to 8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

If you need them sooner, you can use the high setting and cook for approximately 4 to 5 hours. Cooking times can vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the particular slow cooker.

Serve and Garnish

When the potatoes are tender, carefully remove them from the slow cooker and unwrap them, watching for hot steam. Split each potato open and add your favorite toppings.

Popular choices include shredded cheese, sour cream, cooked crispy bacon, chives, butter, or other toppings you enjoy.
