I don’t know about you, but the only thing that I don’t like about baked potatoes is how long they have to cook in the oven before they are ready. Thanks to this recipe (and my slow cooker), that is no longer a problem! I can stick them into the slow cooker in the morning, and they are ready to eat for dinner that night. The slow cooker makes them just tender enough, without them completely falling apart. It is definitely the perfect consistency for a baked potato. Did I mention that you don’t even have to wrap them in foil? How easy!

These potatoes are so simple to get ready to cook. You’ll start by rinsing them off and then poking holes in them with a fork (this has always been my favorite part). Then coat them with olive oil and spread salt and pepper on them. After this, they just have to cook! The flavors really soak in and make the potatoes very tasty.

Why You’ll Love These Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes 

  • They are super simple to prepare and you don’t even have to use foil.
  • The consistency is perfect! They are soft and easy to eat.
  • You don’t have to worry about preheating the oven, wrapping them up, and waiting on them to be ready.
  • The slow cooker keeps them warm until you are ready to eat them.
  • The salt, pepper, and olive oil are so tasty that you’ll even want to eat the potato skins.

What to Serve/Pair with Your Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes

Some of my favorite toppings for these slow cooker baked potatoes are:

  • Sour Cream
  • Bacon Bits
  • Cheese
  • Green onions
  • Butter
  • Salt & Pepper

For an entree to go with these baked potatoes, try this Mississippi Pot Roast. You can even mix it in with your potato - yum! Another one of my favorites to serve with baked potatoes is these Smothered Pork Chops. These potatoes pair well with just about every veggie, but my favorite would have to be brown sugar carrots. They also pair well with both of the meals listed above.

Popular Substitutions & Additions

  • For a more zesty flavor, add paprika in with your salt and pepper.
