Crock Pot Baked Potatoes

|

This is a great way to add baked potatoes to any recipe. Using the crock pot will save you baking time while still maintaining the classic baked potato flavor and texture. Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and potassium (more than a banana!). They are also fat-free, cholesterol free and gluten free! So add this recipe as a side to your next chicken dish 🙂 Enjoy!
