Crock Pot Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Wash the potatoes and prick them all over with a fork. Place them in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until tender.
• STEP 2.Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the crock pot and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skin.

• STEP 4.Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and crispy.
• STEP 5.Serve the crock pot twice baked potatoes hot, garnished with additional shredded cheese, bacon bits, and chopped green onions, if desired.
