Ingredients
- 4 cups French Fries frozen
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk whole
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook the frozen French fries according to the package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux, stirring constantly for about 1 minute.
- Gradually add the milk to the roux while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Arrange the cooked fries on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Generously drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the fries, and enjoy!
