Cheesy Italian Potatoes

Submitted by ChefWendyMG

"This is a yummy side dish for those who love bacon and cheese. While I'm positive it's not the healthiest, it sure is tasty. I use the whole (0.7 oz) envelope of dressing but you can use more or less to taste."

This is very easy and tastey. I did sub for what I had on hand, such as no italian dressing but i did have a packet of herbs and garlic. Very easy to make and a nice side to go with chicken. Thank you for posting this keeper. Shir
