Seasoned Cajun fries smothered in homemade cheese sauce
Ingredients
- 4 Russet potatoes
- 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- Ranch dressing
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Chopped chives optional
Instructions
- 1. Peel potatoes and slice into steak-sized wedges. Place in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for at least 1 hour.
- 2. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
- 3. Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove to a wire rack.
- 4. For the cheese sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook until bubbling, about 1 minute. Pour in milk, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and whisk in cheddar until smooth.
- 5. Place fries in a large bowl. Add Cajun seasoning and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving plate.
- 6. Drizzle with cheese sauce and ranch dressing. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Notes
Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch, ensuring crispy fries.
Cheese sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently on the stove.
