Description

Enjoy perfectly cooked, tender crock pot foil-wrapped potatoes that are flavored with garlic, onion, and a touch of seasoning. These slow cooker potatoes make a convenient, hands-off side dish or a base for a loaded potato meal with your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and herbs. Ideal for busy days, meal prep, or a comforting addition to any American-style meal.

Ingredients

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 4 medium russet potatoes (washed and scrubbed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • Shredded cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Bacon bits
  • Chopped green onions
  • Fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Pat each potato dry after washing and scrubbed clean. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  2. Season and Wrap: Rub each potato thoroughly with olive oil or melted butter. Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture and flavor.
  3. Cook in Crock Pot: Place the foil-wrapped potatoes in the bottom of a Crock Pot or slow cooker. If needed, stack them carefully to fit. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, or on low for 7 to 8 hours until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Serve and Add Toppings: Using tongs or oven mitts, carefully remove the potatoes from the slow cooker. Unwrap the foil and serve warm. Add your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, chopped green onions, or fresh herbs to customize each serving.

Notes

  • This recipe is perfect for meal prepping or as a completely hands-off side dish that cooks while you focus on other tasks.
  • For a hearty meal, stuff the potatoes with taco meat, chili, or roasted veggies.
  • Try substituting sweet potatoes for a tasty variation with a natural sweetness.
  • Make sure to use medium russet potatoes for consistent cooking times and texture.
