Cissys Put Back Potatoes Kids Cooking Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash the potatoes well, prick some holes in it with a fork and rub it all over with a little oil. Then place it right on the oven rack (no pan) and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. You can tell when they are done by grabbing one with an oven mitt. (This might be a job for your grown-up assistant.) When they are squeezable, they are done.
• Turn the oven down to 350 degrees and take the potatoes out of the oven when they are all done and wait a little bit for them to cool, then cut them in half and scoop the potato out into a bowl. You're going to need it.
• Save 1/2 cup of the cheese to sprinkle on top of the potato before it goes in the oven. Mix the rest of the cheese, the milk and the salt and pepper with the potato. Add the butter.
• Use a masher or mixer but do it when the potato is still a little warm.
• Put your potato-sand cheese mixture back into the potato skin you saved (it won't really fit but that's OK). Put the potatoes in a baking pan, sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the potatoes and put back into the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
• The potatoes are done when the cheese melts. Have your adult assistant help with some mitts to take the pan out of the oven.

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring the water to a boil.
• Add the potatoes and boil uncovered for 10-12 minutes.
• Mix butter and flour in a medium sized bowl until well blended.
• Add the flour mixture to the potatoes and mix until blended.
• Add the milk and stir until smooth.
• Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and sauce is thickened.

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until just fork tender, about 10 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the potatoes.
• Transfer potatoes to a bowl. Add parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to the hot oil. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until potatoes are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
