Instructions

Preheat the cooking device: Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F to prepare for cooking the fries.
Cook the fries: Arrange frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake or air fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, following the package’s suggested cooking time.
Make the roux: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the all-purpose flour until fully combined and cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
Prepare the cheese sauce: Gradually pour in milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Stir in the salt, ground white pepper, ranch seasoning powder, and half of the cayenne powder. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Add the cheese: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Assemble and serve: Pour the hot cheese sauce evenly over the cooked fries. Optionally, sprinkle the remaining cayenne powder on top for extra heat. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat fries dry with a paper towel before cooking.
If you prefer a spicier sauce, increase cayenne powder to 1 teaspoon.
Use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded for a smoother melting texture.
Leftover cheese sauce can be refrigerated and gently reheated with a splash of milk to restore consistency.
