Baked Potatoes from the Crock Pot

Audrey M's Note:

This is a great way to have baked potatoes ready when you come home. I own two crock pots. In one I have my meat and the other I have a vegetable, some type of side or dessert. You can create a whole meal in a crock pot.

• Total Time: 4 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 10 -12 small baking potatoes
• aluminum foil

Directions:

1. Stab potatoes with fork.
2. Wrap each in foil.
3. Fill crock pot with potatoes.
4. Cover and cook on High 2 1/2- 4 hours.
5. Do not add water.
6. Cooking time depends on how big your potatoes are.
7. Use your best judgement.
8. It doesn't hurt to cook them for the 4 hours.
9. For large potatoes, I have cooked five to six on Low for 8 to 10 hours and they turn out perfectly.

Great. I cooked 6 medium Yukon golds. Sprayed the foil with a bit of cooking spray and then salted the outside of the potatoes before wrapping them. Yum, this is so easy!

[Mmmmmmm!]

This is great! It was SO easy! Just make sure your potatoes are all about the same size, I had 1 little guy in there and it ended up way overcooked. Otherwise, such a great idea!!!

Yum! I stumbled upon this recipe when I was looking for easy crock pot recipes for a friend. As soon as I read it, I went, "Well, duh! Why didn't I ever think of that? Baked potatoes without heating up the house!" I did six large potatoes, rubbed with olive oil and seasonings, on high for 5 hours, and they're wonderful! Thank you Audrey! :)
