September 10, 2017 at 8:54 amI LOVE this!!! We love baked potatoes at my house but I don’t make them in the summer because I don’t want to heat up the kitchen. Thanks for the great idea.
Heidi says
September 13, 2017 at 10:21 amYou’re very welcome, Etta! I agree… cooking your potatoes in your slow cooker is the perfect way to enjoy baked potatoes without heating up the kitchen. 😉

July 26, 2017 at 8:51 pmThese will be the hit the family reunion weekend when we house my husband’s brother and wife….they love potatoes so I am hoping they haven’t had these!

October 22, 2016 at 10:14 amWhat if you just have 2 regular size (instead of 4) still 4 hrs or 2hrs?

March 22, 2016 at 4:01 pmThanks for the idea of doing baked potatoes in the cockpot.
I can’t wait to try it, especially when we have a few friends
get together..
I’ve only ever done casserole in mine. Look forward to seeing more recipes.
Thanks again,
Patsyann

March 14, 2016 at 8:51 amCan I cook chilli con carne in the crockpot with the foil wrapped potatoes in there also? Thanks
Christy says
October 9, 2015 at 3:56 pmIf you start this in the morning and leave for the day…. will the potatoes burn if not rotated half way through?
CapeMom says
June 22, 2016 at 1:30 pmfollowed this recipe last weekend and had them baking while my family and I were at a waterpark. I never turned them (and actually overcooked them by 30 minutes) and they came out wonderfully soft.

August 6, 2015 at 4:59 pmOkay, I go camping with my horses, and usually there are 5 to 10 trailers with us… That is a lot of people to feed!! So when you ride 20 miles in a day usually us girls are in no mood to cook when we get back to camp, crockpot cooking saves us a lot of time and trouble. I have been cooking potatoes like this at home and at camp and they turn out perfect every time!!! I have never put oil on them or salt but I am not old to try something new!! LOL Thank you for suggesting this great idea ….,

October 5, 2014 at 5:05 pm#Brilliant!! Putting something in my crock pot without water is a little scary, but I’m game to give it a try!! Can’t wait to give it a go!!! My website above is my YouTube channel, definitely going to blog/vlog about this one. I’ll be sure to give a shoutout to TheFrugalGirls.com!! 🙂 I love #Pinterest recipes!! Do you guys have an absolute, hands down favorite “easy” recipe?
(Had to repost this because I hit the button before I was finished…lol #BusyMomma!!)
KATHY says
April 1, 2015 at 7:21 pmI bake my potatoes in the Crock Pot but I add an inch of water in the bottom and I do not wrap my potatoes. They turn out very good. I also bake them naked the same way in a 5 quart covered pot. Turns out great.
Rachel says
September 11, 2014 at 10:22 amthis is the only way I will make mine now! SO MUCH better than microwaved and far quicker than doing in the oven. After rinsing mine, I sprinkle with kosher salt too and then wrap up. Even better, cut any leftovers up and use next day for a soup or something since they are already cooked 🙂

July 19, 2014 at 6:22 pmCan’t wait to try looking forward to it !
Pat Porter Dunner McGovern says
June 29, 2014 at 8:44 amI usually slice my Sweet Potatoes in half lengthwise before wrapping in aluminum foil to cut down on the time needed to bake. This helps when trying to time with other foods to have everything ready at the same time.

March 3, 2014 at 7:41 amDo you put any water in the bottom of crockpot or just dry????
Heidi says
March 3, 2014 at 9:10 amHi Carleen ~ no water is added to the bottom of the crockpot. Hope that helps!
Ann says
February 25, 2014 at 10:58 pmGreat crockpot tips. I really appreciate them.
Susan Payne says
November 24, 2013 at 2:21 pmI love doing this in the summer when I don’t like heating up my kitchen or in wintertime when the oven is full baking pies or roasting the turkey!
Michelle Evans says
April 17, 2015 at 10:31 pmIt’s April and with what you posted, I can’t wait for Thanksgiving! I may have a Sneek Peek Thanksgiving..lol!
melissa says
November 18, 2013 at 12:29 pmCan u stack them? Or do they need to stay flat on bottom?
Anne says
January 18, 2014 at 6:02 pmI tried the crock pot cooking and stacked mine as I had 6 large potatoes. I cooked them about 5 hours total and they were perfect(shifted them around about half way through). Love, love them. Thanks for the idea. Next time I plan to try the idea of spraying with Pam and sprinkling with kosher salt. Hard to imagine them being better than the ones I just cooked, but want to give a try with the salt.
Anne says
January 18, 2014 at 6:06 pmI forgot to add, I cooked mine on high.
Carlena Biggs says
October 15, 2013 at 11:18 amI was always worried that the crock would burst if it had no liquids in it. Do I need to put ater in the bottom of the crock to keep it from cracking? thanks.
Carlena Biggs says
October 15, 2013 at 11:21 amSorry…that’s Water in it. thanks.
Heidi says
October 15, 2013 at 12:38 pmHi Carlena ~ correct… no water is required. Hope that helps!
Ellen Harbour says
September 26, 2013 at 11:23 pmCan’t wait to try potatoes in the crockpot they sound awesome! my favorite topping is sour cream and fresh chives.
Denise says
March 3, 2013 at 6:28 pmI tried baked potatoes in the crock pot. Except I sprayed mine with Pam and sprinkled kosher salt on them before wrapping in tin foil. The potatoes turned out awesome! If you haven’t tried this method you’re missing out ann a real time saver!
Nancy Jo Horton says
November 20, 2012 at 11:38 amMy daughter-in-law shared this idea w/me about the baked potatoes and we just loved them. They were delcious and melted in your mouth.
Mona says
November 12, 2012 at 7:18 amI would have never thought of this. They look delish! I will have to try this soon. Thank you for sharing!!
Carolyn says
November 9, 2012 at 12:01 pmI never thought of doing this so I am trying it tonight. I am always anxious to try things in the crock pot. My crock pot is very old and I sure hope I win the nice pretty red one!!!
Rosiet says
October 13, 2012 at 1:17 pmI’ve crockpotted my baked potatoes forever . . . . and so much better than any other method. Only thing I do different than this recipe is a light coating of butter on the skin before wrapping nice and tight in foil. And, stack smaller ones to the inside/middle of the pot . . . for more even cooking of all sizes. All day on low and they come out so light and melt in your mouth. Even the skins are delectable. Won’t cook them any other way . . . .
Zoe says
October 2, 2012 at 10:14 amWhat a fantastic idea! I wish I had thought of it. I can’t wait to try it out!!!!!
