My mother-in-law and I loved going out to dinner for baked potatoes and salad. It was one of our favorite things to do together. It is such an easy meal to make at home.
A way to make it even easier is to cook your potatoes in the crockpot!
Crockpot Potatoes
per person:
1 large baking potato
1/2 Tablespoon butter or olive oil
kosher salt
10 inch square of aluminum foil
Scrub potato and pierce with a fork. Rub with butter or oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap with foil and place in crockpot, 8-10 hours on low. Serve with your favorite toppings.

I love, love, love the idea of doing baked potatoes (and applesauce, really all the recipes listed. in the crockpot.)
My concern with the potatoes is having the foil burn since there is no liquid in there. Have you ever had any trouble with that?

I have done this many times Denise and the foil never scorches. I also wet my hands a few times and let the water drip into my crockpot for a little steam while they cook. Yummmmmmmmo eats!

Love this idea but my family is large! How many can you fit in a crock pot? Do they have to touch the bottom or can I do 2 or 3 layers?

I’ve got six kids, so I think we’re large, too.
You can layer them until it’s 2/3 full. I have a large oval slow cooker. I’ve done this for company, so I know you can fit a lot.
