    Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes - perfectly soft and fluffy potatoes baked in a crockpot. So easy and perfect topped with cheese, bacon and sour cream.

    Serve these potatoes with Easy Grilled Chicken or topped with Southwestern Chili.

    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.

    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.

    How to make baked potatoes in a slow cooker?

    • Rub washed potatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper, wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
    • Place in a slow cooker with a little bit of water and set for 4 to 8 hours.
    • When ready, unwrap and top with cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream and dill. Or simply serve with butter and seasoning. They are delicious!

      If I doubled the number of potatoes (12) would I need to add two - three more hours of cooking time?

      I have to try baked potatoes this way! They're probably way better than the microwave method!
