the bomb BAKED POTATOES

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The 3rd of our crock pot cooking series are… the bomb Baked Potatoes! And the possibilities are endless, cause as you know, you can go crazy with baked potato toppings.  Also the convenience that these make not only for a home dinner but we’ve made these several times in the office and they’re always a hit!  Why the bomb?  Cause they’re YUM!!!

We’ve had plain potatoes with only butter and sour cream, we’ve also done shredded beef with bbq sauce, and even done chili with cheese, sour cream, and chives.  There’s also enchilada baked potatoes where you can add spiced up chicken or beef and then add salsa and cheese.  See what I mean by endless possibilities?

Some simple food prepping and helpful tips that will make this dish super easy!?!

Food prepping: 

Nothing!  Seriously- how easy can these make your meal plans?  You don’t even have to poke the potatoes like you normally would for the oven!
You just want to wash, scrub, dry, and drizzle with some olive oil and your favorite spices before wrapping each one up!

the bomb BAKED POTATOES

Ingredients

  • 4 - 6 medium russet potatoes
  • olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Scrub and rinse potatoes then dry. Place each potato on a piece of aluminum foil (large enough to cover entire potato & then some). Drizzle 1 tsp olive oil on each potato to evenly coat. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper (if you’d like). Wrap with foil.
  • Pour 1/2 cup water into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker and place potatoes in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat 4 - 5 hours or low heat 7 - 9 hours, until potatoes are tender (smaller potatoes will cook faster than the larger). Serve warm with desired toppings.

Notes

We've done many baked potato bars in the office. Then everyone pitches in with the toppings which vary from bbq,chili, various cheeses, chives, black olives, sour cream ----go crazy!

What you’ll love about these baked potatoes—well, I can seriously tell you that there’s NOTHING that you’ll NOT love! But you won’t have to turn your oven on AND this works perfectly for SWEET POTATOES as well!  After they cook, they will be so tender and cooked perfectly–you just wait and see!

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!

Doing something I haven’t done in 5 years and channeling my inner “momma”!

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
