Oh yes — Slow Cooker Foil‑Wrapped Potato Bombs are pure comfort food and always steal the spotlight 🤤
Cheesy, bacon‑stuffed, buttery, and effortless. Here’s a foolproof version that comes out perfect every time.
🥔 Slow Cooker Foil‑Wrapped Potato Bombs
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 6–8 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar‑jack blend)
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 tbsp butter, cubed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional add‑ins:
- Cream cheese (2–3 tbsp per potato)
- Chopped green onions
- Sour cream (for serving)
🔥 Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
- Scrub potatoes clean (leave skins on).
- Slice each potato almost in half (like a pocket — don’t cut all the way through).
2. Stuff the Bombs
- Gently open each potato.
- Fill with:
- Butter cubes
- Shredded cheese
- Bacon crumbles
- Garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper
- Optional: add a spoon of cream cheese for extra richness.
3. Wrap
- Wrap each potato tightly in heavy‑duty foil.
- Seal well to trap steam and flavor.
4. Slow Cook
- Place foil‑wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- Potatoes should be fork‑tender and oozy inside.
5. Serve
- Carefully unwrap (steam is hot).
- Top with sour cream, green onions, or more cheese if desired.
⭐ Pro Tips
- For crispy skins, unwrap and broil for 5 minutes before serving.
- Swap bacon for ham, sausage, or pulled pork.
- Use pepper jack if you want heat.
- These hold well on “warm” for parties or holidays.
