Step 1
Scrub potatoes under cold water until clean, then poke each one deeply 8-10 times with a fork.
Step 2
Rub all sides generously with olive oil and salt, coating every surface evenly.
Step 3
Arrange potatoes on the bottom of a slow cooker in a single layer, no stacking.
Step 4
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until a fork pierces the center easily.
Step 5
Remove potatoes carefully—they'll be very hot—and let them rest 2 minutes before serving.
