Ingredients

Scale

For the Fries:

  • 2832 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Follow the temperature on your frozen fries’ package. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and coat with cooking spray.
  2. Mix seasoning: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Season fries: Spread frozen fries in a single layer on baking sheets. Sprinkle with seasoning blend, saving about ½ teaspoon for topping later.
  4. Coat and bake: Toss fries to coat evenly with seasoning. Bake according to package instructions, rotating trays halfway through if needed, until crispy.
  5. Make cheese sauce: While fries bake, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Form roux: Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, whisking constantly.
  7. Add milk: Slowly pour in the milk, whisking until smooth and combined.
  8. Melt cheese: Simmer to thicken, then gradually stir in cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  9. Keep warm: Reduce heat to low. Add a splash of milk if sauce becomes too thick.
  10. Assemble fries: On a plate, layer ¼ of the fries. Spoon over ¼ cup cheese sauce.
  11. Top with ranch: Drizzle with 1 tablespoon ranch dressing. Sprinkle a pinch of reserved seasoning on top if desired.
  12. Repeat: Continue layering remaining fries, cheese sauce, and ranch for 3 more servings.
  13. Serve: Serve immediately with extra ranch, cheese sauce, or ketchup for dipping.
