Ingredients
4
baking potatoes
1Tbsp.
olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry each potato. Prick potatoes all over with a fork and put in a bowl. Add olive oil and rub over potatoes to coat evenly. Season well with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Step 2
Wrap each potato tightly in foil and put in the pan of a slow cooker, in one even layer if possible.
Step 3
Cover with a lid and cook on high for 4hr for medium potatoes or 5hr for large potatoes, turning the over halfway through the cooking time. Test the potatoes are cooked by inserting a cutlery knife into the centre of the potato, through the foil – it should slide in easily.
Step 4
Lift potatoes out of the slow cooker on to a plate or board using a large spoon and carefully unwrap. Serve your slow cooker jacket potatoes with your choice of toppings.
Once finished, top with your topping of choice, whether that's classic baked beans or tasty melted cheese and chives - enjoy!
