Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub potatoes; dry; slice in halves; place on prepared baking sheet.
Put butter in a small bowl; melt in microwave for 20 seconds or more until it becomes liquid.
Drizzle butter evenly over potatoes; season with salt and pepper.
Toss to coat; arrange potatoes cut side up on the baking sheet. Bake 30 - 35 minutes until golden, piercing with a fork to check for tenderness.
When the potatoes are done, remove from oven; sprinkle the crisply cooked bacon, cheese, pepper flakes and chopped parsley on top.
Bake another 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Serve.
