Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips

Ok first off :drool:
These are so tasty I cannot lie if I had to.  We had these sided with hamburgers and everyone wanted something different instead of fries so I found this off of Pinterest.  This recipe also calls for bacon bits but I just cooked up my own bacon and made my own bits.  Even better!

5 potatoes
cooking spray
1 cup. shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
chopped parsley or chives, for garnish 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Bring sliced potatoes to a boil in cold, salted water to cover for 5 minutes.  Carefully drain, and transfer slices to a paper-towel lined counter top or cutting board.  Pat to dry.

Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray, and lay out potato slices so they are overlapping on it.  Spray lightly with additional cooking spray, then sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste.  Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese & bacon.  Bake 12-14 minutes in preheated oven until cheese is melted & bubbly.
