Sample Recipe: Baked Potatoes with Avocado Pico de Gallo

Directions:

1. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and dry with paper towels. Pierce each with a fork in several places. Rub them with olive oil. Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil. Put the potatoes in the slow cooker.

2. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the wrapped potatoes from the slow cooker, cover with a towel to keep warm, and set aside.

3. To prepare the pico de gallo, in a medium bowl, gently stir together the onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Unwrap each potato and halve lengthwise. Fluff the potato flesh with a fork. Top each potato with a generous portion of pico de gallo and serve.
