Baked Potato, Lo-und-Slow?

I've got about 3 hours left on some St. Louis ribs, and had picked up a couple Russets for a side.  Has anyone made Baked Potatoes at 220 F?  I searched all three pages of the "Vegetable" sub-forum and found only one thread on baked potatoes, and he cooked them at 300.  
I can certainly fire up my Small to 400 and use that (part of the reason I have it) but would like to know if 220 would work, and about how long they took?  Thanks in advance!

    I know these are not for baked taters but these ran at 275° for 2 1/2hrs till they were tender enough for a potato salad

    Thanks guys.  Only hit 190 after three hours (I finished it in the microwave) and it was fine.  I might try cooking the other one on the Small at 400 tomorrow for lunch, just to see if I can tell any difference.  
    No pix, but the ribs were some of the best I've done so far (I have trouble with them) 4.5 hours at 230, then I took them off, kicked the grill up to 400, sauced 'em, and back in for another 30 minutes indirect.

    I do it a lot on L&S. Get the color you want on the spuds and then foil. Pull once they're tender.
