🥔 Slow Cooker Jacket Potatoes – Best Method
✔️ For Fluffy Inside
-
Use large baking potatoes (Russets/Maris Piper)
-
Prick all over with a fork
-
Rub with oil + salt (optional but recommended)
-
Wrap individually in foil
-
Cook on:
-
High: 4–5 hours
-
Low: 7–8 hours
-
They won’t get crispy skin like oven-baked ones — the slow cooker steams them.
🔥 Want Crispy Skin?
After slow cooking, pop them:
-
In a hot oven (220°C / 425°F) for 15–20 minutes
or -
Under the grill/broiler for 5–10 minutes
Game changer.

Since you’re already in comfort-food mode:

-
Chilli con carne
-
Leftover beef stew (seriously good)
-
Tuna mayo + sweetcorn
-
Sour cream + crispy bacon
