      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.

    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 ….,

      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.

    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 🙂

    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.

      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.

    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 . . . .
