Baked Potatoes the Easy Way

Everyone loves a good baked potato but they take sooooooo long to cook. I'm one of those really impatient people when I'm hungry. These baked potatoes still take forever BUT they are super easy to do. All you have to do is dump them in to the crock-pot in the morning so that when you come home you have amazing hot perfectly baked potatoes ready for you to eat. Doesn't get much better than that if you ask me!

Some recipes similar to mine use foil to wrap each potato individually. I decided to forgo the foil as a more eco-friendly option and it turned out just fine!

Ingredients

• Potatoes of your choice (I used Russet) 
• Salt and Pepper (to taste)
• Vegan Butter (such as earth balance brand) 
• Toppings of your Choice (vegan sour cream, chives) 

Directions

• Rinse potatoes well under water, scrubbing off any dirt. 
• Pierce potatoes several times with a fork. 
• Place potatoes in crock-pot.
• Cook on low setting for around 8 hrs until done. 

WooHoo Baked Potatoes! Now top with your favorite toppings! I used green onion, earth balance and toffuti sour cream and jalapeno tabasco (not pictured).
