Love the idea of potatoes in the crock pot especially here in Sacramento where it’s to hot to want to use the oven to bake anything. I bet that you could partially cook these potatoes and then finish them when you got to the camp ground. Yum!!!
My favorite crock pot meal is buffalo chicken! You can make so many different dishes out of it.
