Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 medium medium russet potatoes Scrubbed and pierced
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil For coating the potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt For seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder For seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Scrub the potatoes well under running water, then dry them completely.
  2. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Seasoning
  1. Rub each potato lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and garlic powder.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the potatoes in a 6-quart crock pot in a single layer when possible. They can overlap slightly if needed.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the potatoes are tender all the way through when pierced with a fork.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the potatoes, split them lengthwise, fluff the centers with a fork, and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

Make sure to pierce the potatoes to prevent them from bursting during cooking. You can use different types of potatoes if desired, and experiment with various seasonings for added flavor.
