Ingredients:

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup milk (preferably whole milk)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor

 

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

2. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux (this cooks out the raw flour taste).

3. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens (about 3-5 minutes).

4. Reduce heat to low, add the shredded cheddar cheese, and stir until melted and smooth.

5. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices to taste.

6. Pour the cheese sauce over your fries and enjoy!
