Italian Potatoes


I thought I'd post an incredibly easy recipe that I got from my best friend a few years ago. It's one of my absolute favorites and I always make it when CJ and I have several dinner guests because it's always a huge hit!

Ingredients (Feeds 4-5 people)
4 russet potatoes
Fat Free Italian dressing (I get the great value brand)
basil (If I have fresh I will use that. Otherwise, I used dried basil)
pepper


Directions
Peel potatoes and dice. I usually cut the potato in half first to dice smaller. Place in bowl and add pepper and basil to cover diced potatoes. Mix well. Add half a bottle of Italian dressing. There are three options I use to cook these depending on the night. If I'm grilling, I will make an aluminum foil bowl, add the potatoes, and put on the grill for 30-40 minutes or until done. If I'm baking, I will place in a pyrex pan, cover with foil and bake at 450 degrees for 40-50 minutes. If I'm cooking on the stove top, I will put about 2 tbsp of olive oil in the pan and then add potatoes and cook on medium high for 20-30 minutes stirring regularly. If cooking on a stove top, I usually add more Italian dressing as the potatoes cook.
