Ingredients
For the French Fries:
- 1 Package frozen French fries
- 2 Tablespoons Cajun seasoning, or to taste
- Ranch dressing, to serve
For the Cheese Sauce:
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 Cup milk
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 Cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
- Chili powder, optional
Optional Toppings:
- Jalapeños, sliced
- Bacon bits
- Green onions, sliced
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Fries: Prepare the frozen French fries according to the package instructions by baking, air frying, or deep frying until crispy. Once cooked, sprinkle the fries with Cajun seasoning and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
- Make the Cheese Sauce: While the fries are cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the roux turns golden and bubbly. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Stir in the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses until melted and smooth. Add chili powder if you want extra heat. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Dish: Transfer the seasoned fries onto a warmed serving platter. Drizzle the warm cheese sauce generously over them. Drizzle ranch dressing over the cheese sauce or serve it on the side for dipping. Add your preferred optional toppings such as jalapeños, bacon bits, green onions, or hot sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can bake, air fry, or deep fry the fries depending on your preference or available equipment.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on how spicy you like your fries.
- The cheese sauce can be customized by using different types of cheese if desired.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fries crisp and the cheese sauce warm and melty.
- Optional toppings like jalapeños and hot sauce add extra heat, while bacon bits and green onions provide contrasting flavors and texture.
