Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) according to the instructions on the frozen fries package.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fries

    Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with cooking oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Bake the Fries

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.

Making the Grilled Cheese

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread in the skillet. Top with one slice of cheddar cheese, then place the second slice of bread on top.

  3. 6

    Cook the Sandwich

    Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.

  4. 7

    Finish Cooking

    Add the remaining tablespoon of butter around the edges of the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting in half. Serve with the hot fries.
