I just got done reading all of the comments.
I have a problem with potatoes in the crock pot being hard after 12 hours on LOW.
My spouse cooks everything on LOW for up to 10-12 hours and the potatoes are so hard you can not mash them with a fork no matter how hard you try.
Many comments gave no details of how they cook. High or Low is hardly ever mentioned. Times are sometimes very vague.
I think it would be very helpful if cooks would provide details on what they are doing.
Does anyone use an infrared digital thermometer to determine cooking temps? Harbor Freight has them pretty cheap. I like to know what is going on in the pot and lots of other things.
If I can figure out how to do potatoes correctly, I will repost. I don’t want to have to microwave them.
Next project is working with an Induction Cook top.
Regards,

I cooked my potatoes in the crockpot without water, because it reads do not cook on the base and my crockpot cracked– not a good idea! (husband was not too happy)

We like our potatoes seasoned (like in restaurants) so I wash and prick mine, then spray with oil (you could use butter or margarine, too) and sprinkle with sea salt, Lawry’s seasonsing salt, or any favorite spice mixtures before wrapping with foil. They’re so moist and tasty–just like in steakhouses!!
