Ingredients

1.5 pounds russet potatoes (cleaned, and sliced 1/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
.5 teaspoon dried rosemary (crushed)
.5 teaspoon dried thyme leaves (crushed)
sea salt and black pepper (to taste)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon (cooked and chopped)

Wash and dry potatoes, leaving skin on.
Slice potatoes into .25-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
Drizzle olive oil, rosemary, and thyme over potatoes. Stir to combine.
Place potatoes, in a single layer, on a case iron skillet. Grill for 10 minutes, or until browned on bottom side, then turn over, and continue grilling until desired crispness.
Rearrange potatoes on cast iron skillet, slightly overlapping the edges.
Sprinkle with cheese and bacon, and return to the grill for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.
Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro, and serve with Greek yogurt or sour cream and salsa.
