That sounds delicious! Here’s a step-by-step way to make perfect crock pot potatoes using tin foil for that “soft-on-the-inside, tender-on-the-outside” magic:
Ingredients:
- Potatoes (any kind: russet, red, or baby potatoes)
- Olive oil or butter (optional)
- Salt, pepper, and herbs (rosemary, thyme, garlic powder)
Instructions:
- Wash and Prep Potatoes
- Scrub them clean. You can leave small potatoes whole; cut larger ones in halves or quarters for even cooking.
- Season and Wrap
- Drizzle with olive oil or a small pat of butter. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Wrap each potato individually in tin foil.
- Place in Crock Pot
- Arrange wrapped potatoes in the crock pot. You can stack them if needed.
- Cook
- Low setting: 6–8 hours
- High setting: 3–4 hours
- Check doneness by poking with a fork—it should slide in easily.
- Serve
- Carefully unwrap (it’ll be hot!). Add toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, or bacon bits for extra indulgence.
💡 Tip: If you want crispy skin, unwrap the potatoes for the last 15–20 minutes and let the heat dry the skin slightly.
