Ingredients
Fries
- 2 medium to large russet potatoes peeled and cut into 8 wedges each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- seasoning salt or salt and pepper
Cheese Sauce
- 1 tablespoon (14g) salted butter
- 1 tablespoon (8g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup milk any percentage
- ¾ cup (3oz) shredded Cheddar cheese preferably sharp and freshly shredded
- Pinch of cayenne
- salt and pepper
Instructions
Oven-baked Fries
- Preheat your oven to 475°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- Toss potato wedges with oil and arrange wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with seasoning salt or salt and pepper.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Use a fork to flip the potatoes, sprinkle this side with seasoning salt/salt and pepper, and bake for an additional 10 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender and reach your desired level of crispiness. Watch closely in the last few minutes of baking time, as the edges will go from browned to burned quite quickly.
- Remove from oven, and immediately start your cheese sauce.
Cheese Sauce
- In a small pot, over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking continuously, until flour is lightly golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in milk, whisking out any lumps as they form. Continue to whisk the mixture until it is thickened and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add cheese by the heaping handful and whisk until smooth after each. Once all the cheese is incorporated, and add cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste.
Assemble
- Transfer potato wedges to plates or bowls and drizzle cheese sauce over the top. Serve immediately, and enjoy.
