Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Scrub potatoes; cut into thin french fry style strips.
Lay fries in a 9 × 13 inch glass baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cream over the top of the fries; generously season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese over the top. Sprinkle parsley flakes over the cheese.
Spray non-stick cooking spray on the side of the foil that will be touching the cheese so the foil won’t stick to the cheese when it melts. Cover with the foil; poke a fork through the top of the foil, 2 - 3 times to let steam to escape so the cream doesn’t boil over into the oven.
Place potatoes in the middle of the oven and cook for about 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
During the last 15 - 20 minutes of baking, lower the oven rack 1 more level, so that the bottom of the potatoes get brown and crispy.
Remove potatoes from the oven. Serve.
**Garnish with some crumbled bacon bits, if desired.
