French Fries ::OR:: One Way to get a Vegetable into a Picky Eater

The boy is 8. He will not eat any vegetable. He likes fruit so I encourage him to eat as much as possible, replacing his usual go gurt or slice of processed cheese with apples, kiwis and clementines whenever I can.

He has been completely cut off from fast food since I got here. As far as I know, anyway.
He misses it and asks for it a lot. Esp when we are out driving and he sees the places.

He and I watched a television show one time and the parents sneaked veges in the children's food with a blender. He asked me why I don't hide veges in his food, but it's hard to hide a vege in a chicken breast. At least it's frozen chicken breaded and baked at home now.

Today I was thinking of how to get a vege into him and french fried potatoes dawned on me.

Peeled them and cut them in Mc fry shape, grease a pan (i used the last few drops in a flax oil bottle but olive would work) with about a tbs of oil for each two potatoes, lay them out evenly, so they aren't touching, sprinkle with salt if desired and baked them at 350F for approx 25 min (the timer died in the middle of the batch)














I almost didn't make it in time with the camera.

And I was told I need to make more.

Success.
