Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes scrubbed clean
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  • Rub each potato with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place them in the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  • Once cooked, carefully unwrap each potato. Split them open and fluff the insides with a fork.
  • Top each potato with butter, cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions before serving.

Notes

Try swapping cheddar for pepper jack or adding a dollop of ranch dressing for a flavor twist. These also make a hearty vegetarian option when you skip the bacon and load up the veggies.
