Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Fries

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the frozen French fries and cook according to package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly and golden. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasonings

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring well to combine.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Cheese Fries

    Once the fries are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate or dish. Pour the cheese sauce generously over the fries. Top with chopped green onions and dollops of sour cream.
