– Clean and Prep: Start by thoroughly cleaning and drying the potatoes. Remove any eyes or imperfections you come across. For optimal cooking, use a fork to poke holes all around each potato. This step ensures even cooking and prevents any unwanted potato explosions.
– Season to Perfection: Lightly coat each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are well-covered. Then, sprinkle salt over the oiled potatoes to your preferred level of saltiness. This step not only adds flavor but also helps create a crispy skin.
– Wrap in Foil: Take a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap each potato completely. Place a potato in the center and wrap it tightly in the foil. Repeat this process for all your potatoes. The foil helps lock in moisture and heat, resulting in a tender interior.
– Crock Pot Magic: Place the foil-wrapped potatoes in your slow cooker. Set the cooker on low and let them cook for 7-8 hours. If you’re in a hurry, you can opt for the high setting and cook for 4-5 hours. The slow cooking process ensures the potatoes become incredibly soft and delicious.
