Grandpa always used to say, "You only have to pray before meals that have potatoes." So when you come from a Dutch family, that means you will be praying before eating 99% of your meals.
A couple times a month, J and I have soup and baked potato night. It's a simple dinner that we can have after a long day of working/commuting/parenting.
To make baked potatoes, I use this super simple slow cooker baked potato recipe:
Step one: Wrap clean potatoes in foil. No need to stab, slice or poke. You can rub them in olive oil, add some salt, whatever you fancy. Since I put the potatoes in the foil immediately after washing, the water seems to steam them well enough without the oil.

| I added sliced onion with the raw potatoes this time -- yum! |
Step two: Put in slow cooker on high for four hours, or low for eight hours. Potatoes are pretty forgiving if you have to go longer.

| Hanging out in their sauna. |
Step three: Eat!

| See how golden the onions got? |
These are awesome to prepare on Saturday night. Just plug them in on Sunday morning and you have baked potatoes when you come home from church!
