Loved these!!! I cooked 2 large potatoes on high for 3.5 hours and I probably should have turned them off at 3. I topped them with a little butter, cottage cheese, steamed broccoli and some fat free cheddar. YUM!!!!! Hubby and them ate these monsters up as our main course this evening and I am ready to make them again very soon! Note that I used margarine on the outside and sprinkled on quite a bit of coarse sea salt, but I'm not sure that it added anything in the end. Thanks for this perfect and simple recipe.

On May 10th.2011 I wanted baked potatoes,but really didn't want to heat up the kitchen.I did a search for crock-pot potatoes,and this particular recipe caught my eye.However there were a couple of extra things that were done to the recipe, after rubbing the potatoes with butter, some salt and pepper were spread over the potatoes.Since my SO likes a softer skin on his baked potatoes, I wrapped them in aluminum foil. They were " baked " for about 7 hours and came out exactly the way they were supposed to. I really enjoyed the way that this recipe turned out and best of all didn't heat up my kitchen. I will most certainly make this again.Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

This is a great new technique to making baked potatoes. It's perfect for during the hot seasons when you don't want to heat up your house by using the oven. It's also great for using during the week when you don't have time to make baked potatoes in the oven after work. Made for Best of 2010 Cookbooks Tag Game.
