Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until slightly thickened.
  5. Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Season with salt, black pepper, ranch seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded white cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Transfer the crispy fries to a serving platter and drizzle with the cheese sauce.
