Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes
- Salt and pepper
- Cooking spray or oil of choice i.e. avocado oil, olive oil, vegetable oil
Instructions
- Spray potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper on all sides. Prick the potato a few times with a fork or paring knife on all sides.
- Wrap potatoes individually in aluminum foil and place in slow cooker. Add 1/2 cup water to the bottom, cover, and cook until potatoes are tender, 6 to 7 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. You'll know they are done when a fork easily pierces the potato and it gives when you squeeze it.
- Transfer potatoes to a serving dish and carefully remove foil (watch for steam). Serve with desired toppings like our Baked Potato Bar.

Notes
- Potatoes can be broiled or grilled for a few minutes at the end if you’d prefer crispier skin.
- Not all slow cookers are created equally. Test for doneness before removing from slow cooker by giving them a squeeze or piercing with a fork. They should give easily.
- These can be left on the warm setting for a few hours once they are done cooking.
- This recipe was tested with large potatoes. Adjust timing accordingly.
- Try making our Instant Pot Baked Potatoes or Air Fryer Baked Potatoes instead.
