1
Prepare the Fries
Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into fry shapes. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry. Fry them in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet, cook the Neuske's bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Crumble into small pieces.
4
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the milk and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Assemble the Cellar Fries
Place the fried potatoes on a serving platter. Drizzle with the cheese sauce, then sprinkle with crumbled bacon and chopped scallions.
