First stout

[STLRAB]

I got this recipe off of beersmith.com and am brewing tomorrow:

1 lbs Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM)
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)
1 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM)
6 lbs Dark Liquid Extract (17.5 SRM)
2.0 oz Pearle [7.8%] - Boil 60 min
1.00 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 15 min)
0.5 oz Pearle [7.8%] - Boil 5 min
2.00 tbsp Malto-Dextrine (Boil 5 min)
2.00 cup Oats (Boil 0 min)
1 pkgs Irish Ale (Wyeast Labs #1084)

I have done a lot of research and am unclear what to do with the oats. Have never brewed anything other than extract brews. If I am supposed to do a partial mash (which I've never done) how do I do that with this recipe?
Would really love that smooth silky feel that oats provide just don't know what to do. Appartently steeping won't do the trick so i need to know what to do with what I have.

Thanks in advance

What kind of oats exactly? This article may be of assistance: http://byo.com/stories/issue/item/1189-oatmeal-stout-style

If you're going to do a partial mash, you'll need to add some base malt so that the oats can use the enzymes provided by the base malt.
