Instructions
-
Prepare the Fries:
-
Preheat oven according to package instructions.
-
Line 2 baking sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Season the Fries:

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Arrange fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
-
Sprinkle seasoning over the fries (reserve ½ tsp for garnish).
-
Toss to coat evenly.
-
Bake according to package directions, rotating the trays if needed.

-
Make the Cheese Sauce:
-
In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat.
-
Add flour, whisking constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
-
Slowly whisk in milk and cook until slightly thickened.
-
Gradually add cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted.

Reduce heat to low to keep warm. If the sauce thickens too much, add 1-2 tbsp milk.

For extra crispy fries, bake an additional 5 minutes.
-
Make it spicier by adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
-
Use fresh-cut fries for a homemade version—just fry or bake until crispy.
