These potato fries are a great way to get kids started on learning how to cook. We used this for our "at-home" camp week. We taught the kids how to cook one new recipe each day for an entire week.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baking potatoes, each cut into six wedges

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • salt to taste

  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Arrange potato wedges on a baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with thyme, pepper, and salt. Toss wedges with a spatula to coat evenly.

  3. Roast potato wedges in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; flip and continue roasting until soft in the center, about 15 minutes more. Transfer wedges to a platter and sprinkle with cheese.

Recipe Tip

You can use vegetable oil in place of olive oil. You can also make a sweet potato version by using ground cinnamon and omitting the thyme, pepper, and cheese.
