Ingredients

  • 4-6 medium russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons butter softened
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic minced, or roasted garlic, smashed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • Sour Cream, Chopped chives or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a meat fork.
  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic. Rub potatoes with butter mixture. Wrap each tightly with a piece of foil.
  • Pour water into a 6-qt. slow cooker; add potatoes. Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until tender. Season and top as desired.

Notes

Tips for Success:
  • Use a meat fork rather than a table fork. A meat fork is easier to grip and the prongs are sharper.
  • Use regular "everyday" foil. Heavy duty foil will not fold around the potatoes as snuggly.
  • Do not overcook, as the potatoes can become soggy.
  • Serve the potatoes right in the foil packets to get the most out of the garlic butter. Just use a sharp knife to cut open the foil and then peel it back.
  • Try this recipe with roasted garlic. The flavor is outstanding.
Tip: Throw in a couple extra potatoes so you can make Breakfast Twice Baked Potatoes the next morning!
