Directions
- Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake according to the package instructions until golden brown.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until combined.

- Drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the cooked fries and serve immediately while warm.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have white cheddar, feel free to use cheddar or a blend of cheeses for a unique flavor twist. For a lighter option, consider using low-fat milk.
- Optional Variations: Add cooked bacon bits, jalapeños, or sliced green onions on top for extra flavor and texture!
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through for the best texture.
