Crockpot Baked Potatoes

Any size crock pot.
Ball up aluminum foil to make approximately 2" balls then place in bottom of crock pot.
Wash, dry and rub your baking potatoes with salt (I use sea salt. Also use however many potatoes you need or can fit into your crock pot)
Wrap each potato in foil.
Place wrapped potatoes on top of the aluminum foil balls in the crock pot.
Low setting 4 hours.
The potatoes are exactly like a steakhouse potato. I serve with a fresh salad wedge or soup (from another crock pot) and bread. YUMMY!
