1. Prep the Potatoes

1. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato to allow steam to escape during cooking.
3. If desired, brush the potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings.

2. Wrap in Foil

1. Tear off squares of aluminum foil large enough to fully wrap each potato.
2. Place a potato in the center of each square and wrap tightly, ensuring no gaps are left to trap moisture inside.

3. Cook in the Crock Pot

1. Place the foil-wrapped potatoes in the crock pot, stacking them if necessary (the slow cooking ensures even heat distribution).
2. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, depending on the size of the potatoes and your schedule.
3. Check for doneness by gently squeezing a potato through the foil—it should feel soft and yield easily.

4. Serve and Enjoy

1. Carefully unwrap the potatoes (be cautious of hot steam) and place them on serving plates.
2. Top with your favorite toppings—butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, or fresh herbs—or serve them plain for a simple, satisfying side dish.
