Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.

Since this is our first REAL cooking lesson I decided to go with a very forgiving recipe.  It’s really hard to mess up oven fries.

• Easier for Sally Mae to accomplish this dish successfully (since it’s an easy one to make).
• Easier for all those Cowboy brothers to give a positive response (since it really is delicious).

Since Sally Mae is only 6 years old I don’t expect her to do the dangerous parts of the work.  I handled the cutting of the potatoes and putting the tray in and out of the oven.  Sally Mae did all the rest with minimal assistance from me.

We had a great time.  She loved having so much more responsibility in the kitchen.  I enjoyed seeing her do things her own way.  Who knew there was more than one way to sprinkle the salt over the ‘taters?

Sally Mae is (naturally) more energetic in the kitchen than I am.  Why did that surprise me?  Ha!  You’ll notice her hands are a blur in some of the photos.  She’s all about speed and flair!  How.fun.is.that!

Here we go!  Sally Mae’s first REAL cooking lesson.

Parmesan Oven Fries

Preheat the oven to 350°

You’ll need:

• 8 medium potatoes, washed and cut into chunks
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 – 4 Tbsp Parmesan cheese (we used a tad more)

Press foil onto 2 cookie trays.

Brush some oil onto the foil.

In a large bowl combine the potatoes, olive oil, salt and cheese.

Stir it up to coat the potatoes.

Spread the potatoes out on the cookie trays.  Don’t crowd them together.  They need a bit of space between them so they can cook evenly.

Bake at 350° for 45- 50 minutes.

If you used a lot of cheese (like we did) the potatoes will stick to the foil.  Peel them off carefully.

The whole family thought these were just delicious!
