Baked potatoes are a classic comfort food, beloved for their fluffy interiors and crispy skins. They’re a versatile staple that can be enjoyed simply with a pat of butter or dressed up with all sorts of toppings. While the traditional method of baking potatoes is in the oven, using a slow cooker provides an incredibly easy and nearly hands-free alternative. This method is perfect for those busy days when you need a hands-off approach to dinner. As for the origins of the baked potato, it’s a dish enjoyed in many forms around the world, with historical mentions dating back to at least the early 18th century in Western cuisine.
An advantage of this slow cooker method is that it yields potatoes that are perfect for a wide range of accompaniments. These baked potatoes can be served as a hearty side along with your favorite protein such as grilled steak, roasted chicken, or pan-seared fish. For a vegetarian feast, they can be the main star topped with steamed broccoli, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Salads or steamed vegetables also pair well with the creamy texture of the potatoes, providing a balanced meal.
