This recipe for cheddar cheese fries is a perfect indulgence for those days when only the cheesiest, most satisfying comfort food will do.


Ingredients for Cheese Fries:

  • 1 lb frozen French fries
  • 2 cups homemade cheddar cheese sauce
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

For the Cheddar Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for added flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Start by baking your French fries according to the package's instructions until they're the perfect shade of golden brown and deliciously crispy.
  2. As your fries are getting that perfect crisp, begin your cheese sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over a medium flame. Whisk in flour and let it cook for a minute or two to form a roux.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk, continuously whisking to keep the mixture smooth and lump-free. Watch as it thickens into a luxurious base for your cheese sauce.
  4. Introduce the grated cheddar cheese to the mix, stirring until you have a beautifully smooth cheese sauce. If it's looking a bit too thick, feel free to thin it out with a little more milk.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika for that extra depth of flavor. Keep the sauce warm while you wait for the fries.
  6. When the fries are ready, plate them up and generously drizzle them with your hot cheese sauce.
  7. Finish with a scattering of green onions for a fresh, oniony crunch.

These cheddar cheese fries are perfect for sharing (or not), and are guaranteed to be a hit whether you're enjoying a casual movie night at home or entertaining friends. So next time you're in the mood for something decadently cheesy, give this recipe a whirl. You won't regret it!
