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 !

What a great way to do potatoes! We did them like this for Mother's Day - 4 large sweet potatoes - and then just had to take the salad out of the fridge and throw the meat on the grill - no fuss or worry about the potatoes being done! What could be easier that that!

I cooked 10 medium russett potatoes by this method. Excellent! What I most like about it, no heat in the kitchen, the skins are soft, the flavor is great.I checked them twice, a few on top were not quite cooked so I just put them on the bottom during the 4 hours. No problem and the foil I can reuse. I used 5 for one meal with butter and sour cream. Tonight I made potato salad and they peeled and sliced perfectly and easily. Do not store any cooked potatoes in the foil in the refrigerator. They will sweat and discolor the foil and taste. This is a time saver for me and I will use again and again. I used to bake them in foil in a large roaster on low heat but this method tops mine. Thanks for posting.

I had 6 rather small baking potatoes and cooked them for 2 hours. That was a revelation to me. Thank you. I had 6 rather small baking potatoes and cooked them for 2 hours. That was a revelation to me. Thank you.

Finally!! A way to "bake" potatoes without overbaking them and having them come out mealy. I have never been able to make baked potatoes come out just right until now. They were nice and soft and tender and very tasty. I cooked them for the full 4 hours on high and then turned the heat off but left the potatoes in the crockpot while I made the rest of the dinner. I will definitely be "baking" my potatoes this way from now on and a lot more often. Thanks for a great recipe Audrey! Updated 12/6 to add that I rub Crisco shortning over the potatoes before wrapping them in foil. This makes the skins soft.

These potatoes are fabulous! My four year old always tells me he doesn't like potatoes. And unless they come in a Happy Meal, he won't eat them. After making these, I opened one up on his plate, let him spray parkay refrigerated butter spray and sprinkle seasoned salt on them, and he ate every bite. He said they were so good they made his head spin. I will never bake potatoes another way. There was so much flavor infused in every single bite. The texture was perfect. Thanks so much for posting such and easy and tasty recipe!

Great. I cooked 6 medium Yukon golds. Sprayed the foil with a bit of cooking spray and then salted the outside of the potatoes before wrapping them. Yum, this is so easy!

use this way to "bake" potatoes in the summer...I like to either rub a little crisco or spray with a non stick spray and roll in Crazy Salt..and then reroll in foil...much better than nuked baked potatoes..thank you...for posting..

Worked like a charm! Much better than potatoes done in the microwave, and much easier! Thanks!
