Baked Potatoes from the Crock Pot

Recipe #53182 | 4¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Audrey M
Feb 3, 2003

This is a great way to have baked potatoes ready when you come home. I own two crock pots. In one I have my meat and the other I have a vegetable, some type of side or dessert. You can create a whole meal in a crock pot.

Pure genius! I can do this when I get home from work, in seconds, and clean up is easy. I popped two medium-small potatoes in the crock pot (after washing and pricking with a knife), without the foil, on high for 2 hours and they came out perfectly. I don't like the peel, but roommates do, so I will oil and salt the outside next time. Thanks for sharing!

    Perfect! I had an oven full of baby backs and this worked out perfectly. Thank you Audrey M for a keeper.

    I use this method a lot. I also keep some in the refrigerator after cooking of course, for up to 2 or 3 weeks. If I want potatoes with my eggs or anything else, I chop one up and heat up with olive oil in a pan with onion, green pepper etc. or just some onion powder which takes only 2 or 3 min to do and I have them to go with my eggs etc. Like having instant hash browns, only much better.

    If I could give more that 5 stars I would.... I used regular potatoes washed and air dried. I poked them with the fork twice on each side. Wrapped them in the foil and they were great... they took 3 1/2 hours in my 4 quart crock. Thanks for this keeper !
