BAKED POTATOES • JACKET POTATOES
Serving: 5
Ingredients
- 5 medium washed potatoes, skin on
- Salt & Pepper to season
Instructions
- Ensure washed potatoes are clean
- Prick each potato 6-10 times with fork all around it
- Place potatoes directly into slow cooker *SEE NOTE*
- Season generously with salt & pepper
- Cook on HIGH for 4-5hrs or until tender
- — Notes
- I cooked these in a 3.5L searing slow cooker - no water added, no oil needed, no foil wrapping needed.
- However if you are using a ceramic bowl slow cooker and prefer to avoid dry cooking, you could place a centimetre of shallow water in bowl first then raise potatoes above this water on a trivet or an oven proof dish etc
- Times can vary depending on size of potatoes you select so allow enough time for your largest ones to cook to tender
- — Fillings
- I topped our with a good dollop of light sour cream, some crispy diced bacon & some fresh green onion slices
- Other options include such selections as cheese, butter, chives, salsa, olives or even leftover taco or bolognaise mince or shredded chicken or pulled pork
- So many options!

Oh My Lord!
1st time making them and they were absolutely delicious 🤤🤤🤤.
Must buy another modern slow cooker that will cook in the specified time ( vintage 8 hrs high 🥺)
Served with garlic butter, light sour cream, grated cheese, coleslaw, corn kernels, fried bacon bits 🤤🤤🤤. Thank you Paulene Christie for sharing your recipe.
This is 100% on rotation as hubby said when am I doing these again 😁
Yes those older slow cookers can be a little unreliable with modern cooker times, but you’ll know that for next time now 🙂
Hi Paulene, I have a removable ceramic bowl, slow cooker and am going to add water to this bowl, and use a trivet to sit the potatoes on. What I was wondering is: will the cook time of HIGH for 4-5 hours or until tender, still be the same?
I expect that elevating them above the bottom will impact that cooking time – they’d need longer 🙂
