I’m ashamed to say that I don’t really have a recipe this week. :/ BUT! I do have a tip. Did you know that you can make wonderfully baked potatoes in the crockpot? All you need is:
- Potatoes
- Olive oil
- salt
Clean your potatoes well, and poke a hole in the skin with a fork. Lightly brush with olive oil and place in the crockpot. Sprinkle a bit of salt on top, cover and cook for 8 hours on low. That’s it!
You can also make twice baked potatoes (which was our original plan, but it didn’t work out). After the 8 hours are up, take the potatoes out and let cool a bit. Cut in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mix in your preferred twice baked ingredients (we love butter, sour cream, and cheese), microwave for about a minute, then scoop it back into the potato skins. Place them back in the crockpot and cook for 25 more minutes. Top with bacon and chives, and there you are!

Do you have a slow cooker recipe that you want to share? Link up here!
Yes, I have made them in the crock pot before and they come out so soft and yummy. Thanks for the reminder.
