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: Set your oven or air fryer to 400°F to prepare for cooking the fries.
- Cook the fries: Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or air fryer basket. Bake or air fry according to package instructions, typically 15-20 minutes, until fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Make roux: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste, cooking for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add milk and seasonings: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Stir in the salt, ground white pepper, ranch seasoning powder, and half of the cayenne powder for desired spice.
- Thicken sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low and cook the sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Melt cheese: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in shredded white cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble and serve: Pour the warm cheese sauce generously over the cooked fries. Optionally, sprinkle the remaining cayenne powder on top for extra heat. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double bake the fries by baking them once before topping with cheese sauce.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level; omit if you want a milder flavor.
- Ranch seasoning powder can be homemade or store-bought depending on availability.
- Use white cheddar for authentic flavor, but sharp yellow cheddar works as a substitute.
- This recipe can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour.
