Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes Recipe
Slow cooked baked potatoes infused with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. They’re soft, tender, and melt in your mouth delicious! Get a restaurant-quality baked potato at home in your crockpot! Enjoy them as-is or with your favorite toppings.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Scrub the potatoes well under cold water. Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel.
- Place the potatoes on a sheet tray and pierce the skin with a fork.
- Brush the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I like to rub the salt and pepper into the skin to make sure it sticks.
- Tear off pieces of foil and wrap the potatoes individually in foil. Place them in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours.
- Unwrap or slice through the foil and add your favorite toppings.

Thank you
slow cooker is the crockpot yes
We all love potatoes and are looking for ways to serve them. Can’t beat baked potatoes. Trying them today
I love baked potatoes, and I like mine when you cut them open I want them soft and fluffy, then buttery! I am going to try this and I hope that they turn out good! Thank you for this recipe!!! ☺ ♥
I am going to try this too
Can’t get any easier than this!
Thanks for your recipe will try this .this evening
I’m definitely going to try this. The last ingredient is 1/2 teaspoon but it doesn’t say of what. What is the last ingredient? Thanks so much!
My guess is it’s Pepper because the instructions say to add salt and pepper.
Pepper
I’m thinking pepper?
It is pepper. I read this in opening paragraph.
That last ingredient is probably pepper.
I would imagine pepper since it’s listed in the directions…?
I would assume pepper since it’s says the ingredients in the above paragraph.😊
I don’t get it. Why make it in a crockpot when you can pop it in the oven and have it ready in 1 hour vs. 4-5 hours on low? Waste of time.
Might have to work or leave the house crock pots are the working women’s dream
Exactly! You can start them ahead of your meal. Freeing up your oven for another dish.
A good many kitchens have more tgan 1 crockpot. 1 can be cooking potatoes and another whatever else is on the menu!
You can go to work or whatever n come back to the most awesome potatoes. This was a homemakers recipe. I love potatoes out the crockpot..
Also waste using that many hours of electricity . All those hours??
I guess each to their own. I wrap potatoes in foil, and put them in crockpot with pork loin or chicken, and let them all cook slow together. I also take foil and tuck it over all and around the food, before putting the lid on. Works great for making more liquid in pot for gravy.
Slow cookers use little electricity. It isn’t like having them in the oven for 8 hours.
And for those living in really hot places, like I live in phoenix, it gives us a chance to have a nice home-cooked meal even in the middle of the summer without heating up our home when our air conditioning is already running over time
Some people are so unhappy they have to complain about everything. Slow cookers use very little electricity. The potatoes sound amazing. I’m going to try them soon.
Me too!!!! Don’t use your slow cooker then if you think it’s running up your electric bill. It’s just that easy. For us who don’t worry about it…..ENJOY YOUR BAKED POTATO!!!!!

Oh my God,why are you looking for slow cooker recipes!!!
For me Jill, its mainly the convenience.
I throw them in the crock pot, and then the day is free to do what I have to do, and not worry about rushing home to cook potatoes. I rub with olive oil,and sprinkle course salt all over,and they come out delicious. No foil. Bad for you to cook with foil.
What temp do you set the crockpot on and for how long? I would like to not use the foil.
my thoughts exactly
Because some people have to work and they are ready when they get home
Not when it is 110 outside and doing everything we can to keep the house cool.
Exactly! I was thinking the same thing. Come the end of May until way into September we don’t use our oven. I like finding ways to cook without heating up the house. And I really don’t like my poor husband standing out in that heat over the grill either so crock pots really are the answer
Flavor
My thoughts exactly!
Microwave ! About 7 or 8 minutes!
It won’t heat up the kitchen like the oven will.
i was just going to post the same comment!!!
Use the crock pot that way they’re done when you get home?
I can’t wait to do this . So many times I forget to put them in running errands and this way I have all day to let them cook . Thank you
I am definitely gonna try this one as well
Can’t wait to try this!
I can’t wait to try this. It will allow me to free up my oven for the main dish and other sides. Plus my husband and I both love nice and fluffy baked taters!
Can’t wait try, love my crock pot
Can’t wait to try this today
I’m gonna try these in my crockpot. It gets too hot in my house with the oven on. I won’t leave home with oven on, but I will with the crockpot on. Yippee 👍
Thank you
I wonder if sweet potatoes would also work this way
Thank you for this comment! Now I want to try and see 🥰 I love sweet potatoes 💕!
I do mine in the microwave. Poke holes in them with a fork, place in a ziploc bag, close almost all the way closed. Leave a small opening in bag it expands as they cook. I cook them 5 minutes at a time. Checking and rearranging after each 5 minutes. You will know they are done when you check by gently squeezing (use a pot holder to keep from burning your hand). They are usually ready in 10-15 minutes,depending on how many you have and how big they are. You can do sweet potatoes the same as regular potatoes. In the crock pot, oven, or the microwave.
I don’t know why people have to make negative remarks, if you don’t like the recipe don’t use it!
Love potatoes…my favorite food item! 🤗 I fix baked potatoes exactly like this but in oven. Will definitely try the crockpot …especially great when you have a crowd coming or have a meat dish or dessert to cook in the oven. Will also try sweet potatoes in crockpot since my husband prefers those. Thank you for sharing this recipe…it’s a time saver. I’m thankful for the many ways to enjoy potatoes! ☺️
so NO liquid in the crock pot ?
