Instructions
Once the potatoes are cleaned and fairly dry, use a fork to pierce the potato several times. Coat the entire surface of each potato with extra virgin olive oil.
Sprinkle the Kosher or flaked sea salt on the potatoes, then wrap each potato securely in its square of aluminum foil.
Place the aluminum foil wrapped potatoes into the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 4-5 hours or on low heat for 6-8 hours.
Use tongs to remove the potatoes and serve immediately.
Notes
Choose potatoes that are similar in size and shape for even cooking.
The aluminum foil wrapping can be skipped if desired. If you aren't serving the potatoes right away, they can sweat in the foil wrapper making the potatoes less than perfect when you eat them.
Over-cooked baked potatoes can end up with browned spots or get tough. Be sure not to leave them in your slow cooker too long.
You can load several potatoes in the slow cooker to cook at once.
Leave the slow cooker on warm to hold baked potatoes before serving.
To store: Place cooled baked potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 4-5 days.
To freeze: Wrap cooled baked potatoes in a clean sheet of aluminum foil and place in a freezer storage bag. You can freeze baked potatoes for up to 2-3 months.
To reheat: You can microwave baked potatoes to reheat them quickly, about 2-3 minutes on high. For best results, cut the potatoes in half and cover with a damp paper towel. Alternatively, you can reheat the baked potatoes in an air fryer or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed to your satisfaction.
