I can't believe I never thought of doing baked potatoes this way! I have spent so many years not having baked potatoes during the week because I don’t like them from the microwave! But no more! I used 8 potatoes, washed them with a vegetable brush and dried them well. I did use a fork to poke holes all over the potato surface then put about ½ cup olive oil in a bowl, about ½ cup kosher salt on a plate. I rolled each potato the olive oil, then the salt, then wrapped each potato with foil. I had read somewhere that the potatoes do better if you stand them on end in the crock pot, so I tried that too (don't know if it helps or not!). It was so great to come home from work to delicious baked potatoes - all we had to do was make a salad and grill the steaks and we had a perfect dinner! Thanks Danny Beason for the great method!

Easy and delicious. I cooked the potatoes for 8 hours. They were perfect. I used red potatoes.

Great idea! Baking potatoes in the crockpot is easy and no fuss. In the summer, you can still have baked potatoes without heating up the kitchen and in the winter it saves room in the oven for other things! I love recipes I can throw in and walk away from!

This recipe is a great find. Our potatoes were so fluffy and light. I used olive oil and see salt. plus I added about a 1/4 C.of water to the pot. My crockpot instructions state that it should always have some liquid in the pot. I will use this recipe often. Thanks for posting!

I used 2 good-size Yukon Gold potatoes and they cooked up perfectly for me. I stored 1 in the fridge to slice and fry for breakfast and served the other for dinner topped with Old-Time Hot Dog Sauce #342751 and shredded pepperjack cheese. Easy and delicious.
