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.
