Directions

2Add 2 tbsp of water into bag just to help steaming in bag
3You could also add butter or garlic or herbs etc if you like
4Add one cup of water to base of slow cooker
5Twist oven bag closed at top but pierce in two places near top/twist
6Sit bag (or bags - see below) in the shallow water of slow cooker with twist at top near the lid

Notes
1This method can be used to cook vegetables on the side of a main dish in another bag. Or two main dishes at once eg a less spicy main for children and a hotter one for adults, or just two dishes at once for serving various tastes in your dinner guests.
2Bonus - next to no clean up!
3Only use oven bags for this purpose, no other bags that are not suitable for cooking in.

I found this online for you 🙂
“Cookware that contains aluminum or iron can react with the potatoes to change their color. Stainless steel cookware helps prevent this problem.
Cooked potatoes may be soaked in a small amount of lemon juice and covered in a pan to prevent post-cooking reactions that cause discoloration.
Black potatoes are safe for consumption and contain the same amount of nutrients as potatoes that are a normal color.”
