Ingredients
Scale
For the Fries:
- 26 ounces frozen French fries (or homemade fries)
For the Cajun Ranch Cheese Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
- 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning powder (or more, to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (divided)
- 8 ounces white cheddar cheese (shredded on the large holes of a box grater (2 cups shredded))
Instructions
- Preheat an oven or an air fryer to 400°F.
- Arrange French fries in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet or in air fryer basket. Bake them in preheated oven according to the time shown on package, or according to air fryer instructions.
- Place butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, cooking until melted and bubbly. Whisk in the flour to combine, then cook for about 2 minutes, until mixture is thick and pasty.
- Gradually whisk in milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well in between additions to create a smooth sauce. Add salt, pepper, ranch powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder, then stir to combine.
- Reduce burner heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is thick enough to cling to the back of a spoon.
- Using a silicone spoon, gently stir in shredded cheese to combine. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, until Cajun cheese sauce is thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and set aside until the French fries are ready.
- When French fries are cooked through and golden brown, transfer them to a serving platter. Pour the Cajun ranch cheese sauce evenly over them, then sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne evenly over the top. Serve while warm.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Experiment with different cheese blends for varied flavors.
