If you’re looking for an easy and hassle-free way to make delicious baked jacket potatoes, then look no further than your slow cooker. This simple recipe only requires a few ingredients and a little bit of patience, but the end result is well worth the wait.
Ingredients for Slow Cooker Jacket Potatoes
To start, gather your ingredients: 4+ jacket potatoes, olive oil, and salt. You’ll want to use potatoes that are about 230g each, and if they’re larger than 260g each, you may need to add some extra cooking time. Make sure to wash and prick each potato all over with a fork about four times.
How To make Slow Cooker Baked Jacket Potatoes
Next, pour some olive oil into the bottom of your slow cooker and roll all sides of the potato skins into it. Alternatively, you can use spray oil instead. Sprinkle some salt on both sides of the potatoes for flavor.
For the best results, cover the slow cooker with a tea towel before placing the lid on top. This will help to create crispy skin by preventing condensation from the lid dripping onto the potatoes.
Now it’s time to let the slow cooker do its thing. You can cook the potatoes on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. If you’re looking for crispy skin, the high setting is recommended. Make sure to check the potatoes with a knife to ensure that they’re soft throughout before serving.
How To Serve
Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, you can serve them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, cheese, sour cream, chives, or bacon bits. You can also get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your perfect combination.
