  • Then, rub each potato with olive oil. Generously season the outside of each potato with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the lid on slow cooker and then turn to high. Let cook on high for 4-6 hours. Cook time will depend on the size of the potatoes.

  • You know your potatoes are done cooking when they are easily pierced with a fork, but still firm on the outside. If the flesh is still hard on the inside, cook them a little longer.
  • Let baked potatoes cool for 10-15 minutes, and then slice and serve.
