Toppings

Method

Preparing Fries

  1. 1

    Cut and Soak Potatoes

    Wash and cut the potatoes into fry shapes. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the fries and fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Making Cheese Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute until combined and bubbly.

  2. 4

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Slowly whisk in the milk, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, paprika, and black pepper until smooth.

Assembling Cheese Fries

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Place the hot fries on a serving plate, drizzle the cheese sauce over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions and jalapeños. Serve immediately.
