Amanda says
didn’t read all comments, but if it hasn’t been mentioned, pat dry after cleaning then rub with butter and sprinkle generously with sea salt. Yummy!!!
Etta says
I 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
You’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. 😉
Donna myers says
These 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!
Amanda says
What if you just have 2 regular size (instead of 4) still 4 hrs or 2hrs?
Patricia Brwn says
Thanks 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
Carli says
Can I cook chilli con carne in the crockpot with the foil wrapped potatoes in there also? Thanks
Christy says
If you start this in the morning and leave for the day…. will the potatoes burn if not rotated half way through?
CapeMom says
followed 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.
Kbsaddleup says
Okay, 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 ….,
Blessed says
Always good to cook in crock pot pop in at lunch then ready when home ☺…. but honestly i’m hooked on microwave about 20 mins each side WaLa done and ready to quickly serve
ObliviouslyAwesome says
#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
I 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
this 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 🙂
Jess JIMENEZ says
Can’t wait to try looking forward to it !
Pat Porter Dunner McGovern says
I 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.
carleen says
Do you put any water in the bottom of crockpot or just dry????
Heidi says
Hi Carleen ~ no water is added to the bottom of the crockpot. Hope that helps!
Ann says
Great crockpot tips. I really appreciate them.
Susan Payne says
I 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
It’s April and with what you posted, I can’t wait for Thanksgiving! I may have a Sneek Peek Thanksgiving..lol!
melissa says
Can u stack them? Or do they need to stay flat on bottom?
Anne says
I 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
I forgot to add, I cooked mine on high.
Carlena Biggs says
I 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
Sorry…that’s Water in it. thanks.
Heidi says
Hi Carlena ~ correct… no water is required. Hope that helps!
Ellen Harbour says
Can’t wait to try potatoes in the crockpot they sound awesome! my favorite topping is sour cream and fresh chives.
Denise says
I 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
My 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
I would have never thought of this. They look delish! I will have to try this soon. Thank you for sharing!!
Carolyn says
I 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
I’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
What a fantastic idea! I wish I had thought of it. I can’t wait to try it out!!!!!
