This is the easiest and also my new favorite way to make perfect baked potatoes. It works every time and it’s such a time-saver! The potatoes come out soft and fluffy every time. I make them to serve with these BBQ Ribs (talk about a delicious dinner with minimal work!) or to top them with Pulled Pork, Chili or taco chicken or beef. So many options! I love them simply with butter, salt, pepper and dill.

SLOW COOKER BAKED POTATOES

These Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes are fail-proof and very easy to make. You won’t believe how fluffy the potatoes are inside and if you like crispy skin, place the cooked potatoes under the broiler for a couple of minutes. If you have the Instant Pot, you have to try my Instant Pot Baked Potatoes (without foil!).
