  1. This is a similiar recipe that I have used for awhile. The only changes I would recommend is after washing the potatoes rub the skin with butter and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in crockpot and cook as stated. This way you can have your potatoes ready when your meal is done.
     
  2. The crock pot cooking makes the potatoes taste more like boiled in their skin potatoes than baked. I made 2 wrapped in tin foil and 2 without. The ones in foil tasted slightly better but I can not recommend this cooking method unless you want dense, yellow boiled in their skin potatoes.
     
  3. I used this method with sweet potatoes, and they were fantastic! Soft and fluffly and bright orange. I did not stand them up on end, just set them in the crock. Oh, and I sprayed them with olive oil spray before cooking. Thanks so much for the method, I'll be using it again and again!
     
  4. My taters turned a brown/beige color, I used russet potatoes & cooked them in foil, the end result was not the pretty fluffy white that I get from baking them in the oven.
     
  5. I love the concept of this recipe. I wrapped my potatoes in foil. I'm going to do this again! Roxygirl in Colo.

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
