⏱️ Time Breakdown:

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

📝 Ingredients List:

For the Fries:

28–32 oz frozen French fries
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons ranch dressing (plus more for dipping)

For the Cheese Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
⅔ cup milk
2 cups medium cheddar cheese, freshly shredded

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preheat oven to the temperature listed on your fries package. Line two baking sheets with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the seasoning: brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread fries on the baking sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle with most of the seasoning blend, reserving about ½ teaspoon for garnish.
Toss to coat and bake fries as directed, rotating sheets halfway through until golden and crispy.
While fries bake, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Whisk in flour to form a roux, cooking 1–2 minutes until bubbling.
Add milk slowly, whisking to form a smooth base.
Simmer to thicken slightly, then stir in shredded cheddar until melted and smooth 🧀.
Keep sauce warm on low heat. Add a splash of milk if it thickens too much.
Plate ¼ of the fries and spoon over ¼ cup of cheese sauce.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon ranch, and sprinkle a pinch of reserved seasoning.
Repeat with remaining portions.
Serve hot with extra cheese sauce, ranch, or ketchup on the side 😋.

💡 Pro Tips Section:

Storage: Best served fresh! Fries may lose crispness if refrigerated, but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven.
Substitutions: Use waffle fries, curly fries, or even tater tots for a fun twist.
Make it spicier: Add cayenne or hot sauce to the cheese sauce for extra heat.
Party Tip: Serve on a sheet pan for a fun, shareable game-day appetizer!
