# Instructions:
01 -
Slice russet potatoes into fry shapes, then get rid of excess moisture by patting them dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
02 -
Set the oven to 230°C. Spread fries in a single layer on a baking tray. Add olive oil and bake for 25 minutes. Turn them over and bake for another 25 minutes. Take out when they look golden and crisp.
03 -
Heat butter in a little pot over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a paste. Slowly pour in milk while whisking. Toss in the cheese and keep stirring until it’s all melted and smooth.
04 -
In a bowl, toss together paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and brown sugar.
05 -
Place your cooked fries on a big plate. Pour the cheese sauce over them while it’s warm. Sprinkle with the Cajun mix, and add green onions and ranch, if you’d like.
# Notes:
01 -
Want crispier fries? Fry your potatoes first at 160°C, then again at 190°C.
02 -
Shred your own cheese, so the sauce turns out extra creamy and smooth.
