Ingredients

4
baking potatoes
1 Tbsp.
olive oil

Directions

1. Step 1
  Wash and thoroughly dry each potato. Prick potatoes all over with a fork and put in a bowl. Add olive oil and rub over potatoes to coat evenly. Season well with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
2. Step 2
  Wrap each potato tightly in foil and put in the pan of a slow cooker, in one even layer if possible.
3. Step 3
  Cover with a lid and cook on high for 4hr for medium potatoes or 5hr for large potatoes, turning the over halfway through the cooking time. Test the potatoes are cooked by inserting a cutlery knife into the centre of the potato, through the foil – it should slide in easily.
4. Step 4
  Lift potatoes out of the slow cooker on to a plate or board using a large spoon and carefully unwrap. Serve your slow cooker jacket potatoes with your choice of toppings.
