Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on your baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake according to package instructions (about 20-25 minutes) until golden brown and crispy.
  3. In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble gently.
  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.
  8. Serve warm, accompanied by dipping sauces like ranch or spicy ketchup.
