Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Scrub potatoes under cold water until clean, then poke each one deeply 8-10 times with a fork.

  2. 2

    Rub all sides generously with olive oil and salt, coating every surface evenly.

  3. 3

    Arrange potatoes on the bottom of a slow cooker in a single layer, no stacking.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until a fork pierces the center easily.

  5. 5

    Remove potatoes carefully—they'll be very hot—and let them rest 2 minutes before serving.
