Directions
- Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F.
- Arrange the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or air fryer basket. Bake until golden brown according to package instructions.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour until fully combined, and cook for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Then stir in the salt, white pepper, ranch seasoning, and half of the cayenne powder.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture until it thickens, which should take about 5 minutes. Once thickened, stir in the shredded cheese until it is fully melted and creamy.
- Pour the cheesy sauce generously over the cooked fries, making sure to cover them evenly. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: If white cheddar isn’t available, you can use a different cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicier kick.
- Optional variations: Try adding toppings such as crispy bacon, sliced jalapeños, or green onions for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture—microwaving can make the fries soggy.
