Instructions
Creating Slow Cooker Jacket Potatoes is simple. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Wash Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove dirt.
2. Poke Potatoes: Use a fork to poke several holes in each potato. This helps steam escape during cooking.
3. Season: Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper for added flavor.
4. Prepare Slow Cooker: Place a layer of aluminum foil or parchment paper on the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent sticking.
5. Arrange Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes directly in the slow cooker, ensuring they are not crowded.
6. Cover and Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
7. Check for Doneness: Insert a fork into the largest potato to check if it’s tender. If it goes in easily, they are done.
8. Serve: Carefully remove the potatoes from the slow cooker and let them cool slightly before serving.
These straightforward steps will guide you to make incredible Slow Cooker Jacket Potatoes with minimal effort.
