Instructions
- Scrub potatoes clean and pat dry.
- Place each potato on a large sheet of foil.
- Slice the potato halfway through in a crisscross pattern (don’t cut all the way down).
- Season with salt and pepper, then tuck butter slices into the cuts.
- Wrap each potato tightly in foil.
- Place foil-wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until tender.
- Carefully unwrap, sprinkle with cheddar cheese and bacon bits.
- Re-cover loosely and cook 10–15 minutes more until cheese melts.
