Directions

1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Arrange the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake according to package instructions until golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
4. Whisk in the flour until combined and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
5. Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Stir in the salt, ground white pepper, ranch seasoning, and half of the cayenne powder.
6. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
7. Stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until it melts and becomes creamy.
8. Once the fries are cooked, pour the cheesy sauce over them and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute the white cheddar cheese for any cheese of your choice, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for an extra kick.

• Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for crispiness or in the microwave for convenience.
