Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into thin strips and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until smooth and thickened.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and hot sauce until melted and creamy.

  6. 6

    Assemble

    Once the fries are done, transfer them to a serving platter and generously drizzle the cheese sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
