Preparing the Fries

1. Cut the Potatoes

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

2. Soak the Potatoes

Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3. Dry the Potatoes

Drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel.

4. Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add the dried potatoes to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Drain and Season

Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while hot.

Making the Cheese Sauce

7. Melt the Butter

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

8. Add Flour

Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste (roux).

9. Add Milk

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

10. Add Cheese

Reduce heat to low, and gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

11. Season the Sauce

Add salt and black pepper to taste, stirring well to incorporate.

Assembling the Cheese Fries

12. Layer the Fries

Place a generous portion of the hot fries on a serving platter.

13. Drizzle Cheese Sauce

Pour the warm cheese sauce over the fries, ensuring they are well covered.

14. Add Toppings

Sprinkle chopped green onions over the cheese fries and serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side.

15. Serve Immediately

Enjoy your delicious cheese fries while they are hot and crispy!
