1
Prepare the fries
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak the fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
3
Heat the oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the potatoes
Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Season the fries
While the fries are hot, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and toss to coat evenly.
6
Make the cheese sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute until golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring until thickened. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
7
Assemble the fries
Place the seasoned fries on a serving platter, drizzle with the cheese sauce, and top with the crumbled bacon and chopped scallions.
8
Serve
Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
