Creamy Cheesy Potatoes

Ingredients:
~ 4 to 5 large potatoes (red or regular) cut into thin french fries or enough to fill a 9×13 glass baking dish
~ 1 pint whipping cream- 2 cups
~ salt and pepper over the potatoes and cream
~ 2 tsp. parsley flakes
~ 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Directions: 
~ Cut your potatoes into thin french fry strips, and lay the fries, in a 9×13″ glass pan. (Arctic circle or McDonald’s fries type of thin!)
~ Pour all of the cream over the top of the fries.
~ Salt and pepper the potatoes very generously.
~ Sprinkle at least 2 cups grated Cheddar Cheese over the top.
~ Sprinkle Parsley flakes on top of the cheese.
~ Spray a bit of cooking spray on the side of the foil that will face the cheese. This assures that the foil won’t stick to the cheese after it melts.
~ Cover with foil, and poke a fork through the top of the foil, 2 or 3 times to allow a little steam to escape. This way, your cream doesn’t boil over into your oven.
~ Place your potatoes in the middle of the oven. Cook at 400 degrees for about 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
~ During the last 15 or 20 minutes of baking lower your rack one more step. This makes the bottom of your potatoes, brown and crispy.
~ Remove potatoes from the oven, remove the foil and eat!
