Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

  • 26 ounces frozen French fries
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (divided)
  • 8 ounces white cheddar cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package.
  2. Arrange 26 ounces of frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. For homemade fries, ensure they’re uniformly sliced for even cooking.
  3. Bake until golden brown, turning once for the best crispiness. The aroma will be hard to resist!
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat until it bubbles gently, releasing a warm nutty aroma.
  5. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, whisking constantly to form a smooth roux—lightly golden in color with a toasty scent.
  6. Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk, continuing to whisk vigorously to prevent lumps. Let it simmer until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder. Stir it all together until combined and smelling heavenly.
  8. Reduce heat to low and slowly add 8 ounces of shredded white cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until everything melts into a creamy sauce.
  9. Place the crispy fries on a serving plate. Generously drizzle the warm cheese sauce over them and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder for that extra zing. Optionally, drizzle with ranch dressing as a finishing touch.
  10. Admire your masterpiece before digging in!
