Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 26 ounces frozen French fries
Cheese Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (divided)
- 8 ounces white cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven or air fryer: Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F to prepare for cooking the fries evenly and to a perfect crisp.
- Cook fries: Arrange the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake or air fry according to the package instructions until fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Make roux: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook the mixture for about 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste and create a smooth base for the sauce.
- Add milk and seasonings: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Stir in salt, ground white pepper, ranch seasoning powder, and half of the cayenne powder for a balanced spicy flavor.
- Thicken sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add cheese: Stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble and serve: Pour the hot cheese sauce evenly over the cooked fries and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- For extra crisp fries, double bake or air fry before adding the cheese sauce.
- Adjust cayenne pepper according to your heat preference.
- Ranch seasoning powder can be store-bought or homemade.
- Use white cheddar for authenticity and a sharp cheesy flavor.
- Leftover cheese sauce can be refrigerated and gently reheated with a splash of milk.
