Best Seasoned Fries With Cheese Sauce Recipes

CHEESE FRIES

Steps:

• Bake the fries according to the package instructions or the Baked Fries recipe. Once the fries are done, taste and add additional salt as necessary.
• In a small or medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute, until bubbly and golden.
• Add a splash of milk and whisk it in: the sauce will instantly turn chunky. Constantly whisking, continue to add splashes of milk and whisk them in until the entire quantity is incorporated and the sauce is smooth. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, whisking frequently, until very thick and smooth.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the spices. Stir in the cheese 1 handful at a time, only adding more when it has melted. Once you need more temperature to melt the cheese, return heat to low to complete melting. Once fully smooth, it will be thick. Whisk in 2 more tablespoons of milk until it comes to a pourable consistency, then stir in the vinegar (and hot sauce, if using). If the sauce needs to sit until the fries are done, re-heat it on the stovetop and add a little more milk if necessary to make it pourable.
• Place the warm fries on a platter and pour over the warm cheese sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and serve immediately.

OLD BAY® FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss French fries and oil together in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning and toss to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 35 to 45 minutes.
• While fries are baking, make the cheese sauce by combining milk and seafood seasoning in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Add cheese when milk begins to steam and little bubbles begin to form around the edges. Stir gently and frequently until all cheese is melted. Serve immediately on the side as a dipping sauce with hot fries.
