Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 28–32 ounces (794–907 grams) frozen french fries
Seasoning Mix:
- 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Dressing and Cheese Sauce Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons ranch dressing (plus more for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup milk (plus more if needed)
- 2 cups medium cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven as directed on the fries package and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with foil and applying a light cooking spray coating.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by combining brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Spread the fries in a single layer across the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Generously dust the fries with the spice mixture, reserving a small portion for final garnishing. Gently toss to ensure even seasoning coverage.
- Bake the fries according to package instructions, rotating trays midway to guarantee uniform crispiness.
- While fries are cooking, prepare the cheese sauce by melting butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.
- Incorporate flour into the melted butter, whisking continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Gradually stream in milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps and create a creamy base.
- Slowly add cheddar cheese, stirring until completely melted and sauce reaches a silky consistency. Keep warm on low heat, adding milk if sauce becomes too thick.
- Transfer crispy fries to serving plates or a large platter.
- Generously drizzle with warm cheese sauce and ranch dressing.
- Sprinkle the reserved seasoning blend over the top for an extra flavor punch.
- Serve immediately, accompanied by additional ranch, ketchup, or cheese sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Customize the seasoning blend by adjusting spice levels for personal heat preference, making the fries mild or fiery hot.
- Swap regular fries with sweet potato fries for a nutritious twist that adds natural sweetness and additional vitamins.
- Use gluten-free flour or cornstarch when creating cheese sauce to make the recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Bake fries on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet
