Directions
- Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake according to package instructions until golden brown and crispy.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until completely combined and cook for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually add the milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Stir in the salt, ground white pepper, ranch seasoning, and half of the cayenne powder.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until it melts and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Pour the cheese sauce generously over the hot fries and serve warm for the ultimate indulgence.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can easily swap out white cheddar cheese with any cheese of your choice, such as pepper jack for an extra kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
- Optional Variations: Feel free to add toppings like crispy bacon bits, diced jalapeños, or sliced green onions to elevate your fries even further!
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven until heated through to retain their crispiness.
