Method

1
Scrub the potatoes clean, pat them dry and prick the skin all over 6–8 times with a fork.
2
Rub them with the oil and coarse salt. Lay a sheet of baking paper on the bottom of the slow cooker and arrange the potatoes on it side by side. Don't add any water.
3
Put the lid on and cook for 7–8 hours on LOW or 4–5 hours on HIGH, until a skewer slides through the centre with no resistance.
4
Want a crispy skin? Put the potatoes in the air fryer or the oven at 220 °C for another 10 minutes.
5
Cut a cross in the top, squeeze the potato open and add a knob of butter. Finish with cheese, yoghurt and spring onion (optional).
