Yes, you can bake potatoes in a slow cooker. Fluffy inside, ready when you get home. Perfect with any topping.

Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt

Method

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes. Prick several times with a fork.
  2. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Wrap each potato in foil and place in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4-5 hours.
  5. Unwrap and serve with your favourite toppings — butter, cheese, beans, chilli, tuna, etc.

Tips

No water needed — the foil traps enough moisture. For crispier skin, pop under the grill for 5 minutes after slow cooking.
