I can make a meal on Slow Cooker Twice Baked Potatoes – Loaded, that is why I love them in the slow cooker, as I put them on in the morning, and when I come home… they are pretty much ready, little prep time left!
- Wash potatoes, rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
- Spray potatoes with cooking spray, pierce potatoes with a fork.
- Rub 1/8 tsp. kosher salt evenly over potatoes.
- Place seasoned potatoes in an oval 6-quart slow cooker.
- Cover. Cook on Low for 8 hours or until potatoes are tender.
- Cool slightly.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp into a microwave-safe bowl, leaving a 1/8-inch-thick shell.
- With a potato masher, mash pulp.
- Stir in milk, yogurt, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper.
- Place in a microwave on High for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
- Spoon potato mixture evenly into shells, evenly sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
- Place potato halves in bottom of crock pot.
- Cover again and cook on High for approximately 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese melts.
- Sprinkle each potato half with about 1/2 tsp. chives and about 1 tsp. bacon.
Happy Crocking!

All of these recipes sound really good – but not time saving – my idea of a crockpot dinner is to throw it all in and come back to the meal – not cook first, come back and cut up throw back in – too much time.
This recipe may not be to your liking, but it is for several, and there are many other recipes that are just as you describe. But this is a great recipe…
Well, you can’t win them all! But this one is so much better than ones I’ve seen directing use of the oven for all or part of the meal. I don’t see the point in /that/.
But I’ll cut and mix a little, sure.
BTW using the first half of the recipe makes baked potatoes, so you can always just do that instead.
How much is 241 grams in English.?
Hi Marty, if you need to convert the grams, you may want to look on the internet for a program that can do this for you, as you most likely will need this for other recipes. Thanks for the question, and happy crocking!
