Units
Scale
- 2 medium/large russet potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Ranch dressing (optional, for serving)
- Chopped chives or green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk (low-fat or whole)
- 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut potatoes into ¼-inch sticks. Toss in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, dill weed, onion powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Spread fries evenly on the baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly add milk while whisking until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
- Drizzle cheese sauce over hot fries, sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning, and top with chives or green onions. Serve immediately with ranch dressing if desired.
Notes
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking for extra-crispy fries.
- Use freshly grated cheese for a smoother sauce.
- Add a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.
