1. Wash the potatoes and let dry.

I have baked potatoes in my crock pot without the oil, and certainly without the aluminum foil touching the food. (one cause of Alzheimer’s) and they are just as great. I have also done sweet potatoes, turnips, baby bok choy, etc I fact I have my crock pot going every day with something in it. Bon appetit !

can you stack multiple layers of potatoes? or do they have to be one layer on the bottom of the crock?
Bev says
Picture has only 4 potatoes. How many potatoes can be cooked at same time? Can the potatoes be stacked full in pot?

I have tried a similar recipe and used foil, it was horrible. The recipe I used said it would be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, not so. I will try your recipe without foil and let you know if it turns out better or different from my first experience.. thank you
