NDR: Crockpot Baked Potatoes?

[munkii]

Has anyone made these with regular baking potatoes or sweet potatoes? I've seen it on Pinterest, which I didn't trust; so I googled it from there. There are about a million blog posts about it with pictures (some of them look weird, though). I guess my main concern is that only one of the handful of posts I read suggested adding water. I'm already paranoid at the thought of using a slow cooker when I'm not home; the thought of not adding water makes me think I'll burn my house down. Paranoia at it's finest.

Thoughts? Best method? Don't do it?

When I have a crockpot question I usually start with the Crockpot 365 blog. Not only for her recipes but b/c the comments section is also really helpful as well.
