  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the frozen French fries according to the package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Arrange the cooked fries on a serving platter or individual plates.
  6. Generously drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the fries, and enjoy!
