This way of making baked potatoes makes a perfect, fluffy, flavorful baked potato every time! I dont know about yall but there have been times I have put potatoes in the oven thinking theyll be ready in an hour and then all my other food is ready to go for dinner and weve realized the potatoes are still hard on the inside so then I gotta throw them in the microwave (which doesnt give you the same texture) and then Im mad because it feels like its never consistent. Well this recipe creates perfectly cooked potatoes every time! No turning on the oven required!FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What other potatoes can I use in the Crock Pot? I have only ever made this recipe using Russet Potatoes. To me, russets are supreme when it comes to baked potatoes, but I would think you could also use Yukon Gold potatoes. What toppings should I use? You can use whatever toppings you typically like to put on your Baked Potatoes. Classic toppings like sour cream, bacon pieces, green onions and shredded cheese are all good options. Additionally, you could go full out and add some protein, like Shredded Chicken, or make some Taco Potatoes (so yum!) What size Crock Pot should I use? Most of my audience (who live in the USA) tend to use a 5-6 qt crock pot. Its generally the most popular size slow cooker. When baking these potatoes, you may be able to fit more (or less) potatoes in your slow cooker depending on the size, so keep that in mind when determining how many potatoes to use. You could use round or oval but when using a round, keep in mind that some on the bottom can cook faster than the ones on top. How do I store any leftovers? These baked potatoes can be stored in an airtight container and can be kept in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. You can reheat in the microwave or the air fryer.
