I have used this recipe twice and both times the potatoes came out perfect. I don't think I will ever bake potatoes in an oven again!

Easy and delicious. I cooked the potatoes for 8 hours. They were perfect. I used red potatoes.

Terrific time saver! My family loves baked potatoes..but when you work full-time, it's not always possible. Very easy to prepare before work - so baked potatoes are now another option for us. I'd never had considered baking them this way before..so I'm glad you posted it! Thank you.

Great idea! Baking potatoes in the crockpot is easy and no fuss. In the summer, you can still have baked potatoes without heating up the kitchen and in the winter it saves room in the oven for other things! I love recipes I can throw in and walk away from!

Even though it was an easy way to cook my potatoes, they seemed more 'boiled' than 'baked'. The skins were too soft and moist and the inside wasn't as fluffy as a true baked potato. The convenience of the recipe and the fact of not using the oven in the middle of the summer are big pluses though. Thanks!

I can't believe I never thought of doing baked potatoes this way! I have spent so many years not having baked potatoes during the week because I don’t like them from the microwave! But no more! I used 8 potatoes, washed them with a vegetable brush and dried them well. I did use a fork to poke holes all over the potato surface then put about ½ cup olive oil in a bowl, about ½ cup kosher salt on a plate. I rolled each potato the olive oil, then the salt, then wrapped each potato with foil. I had read somewhere that the potatoes do better if you stand them on end in the crock pot, so I tried that too (don't know if it helps or not!). It was so great to come home from work to delicious baked potatoes - all we had to do was make a salad and grill the steaks and we had a perfect dinner! Thanks Danny Beason for the great method!

I never would have figured out on my own that you can cook amazing baked potatoes in the crock pot. So THANK YOU so much for posting. They turned out perfect, 8 medium potatoes cooked on high for 2.5 hours. I don't know if I ever need to do the oven method again.

Perfect! I used HUGE potatoes & they were cooked perfectly after 8 hours on low. As another reviewer said, I never would have thought to do this but what a great way to save time & free up oven space!
