Ingredients

  1. Fries:

    • Russet Potatoes: 6 medium, washed, scrubbed, peeled, and sliced into thick fries (¾ inch x 3 inches).
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2 tbsp, for coating the fries.
    • Cajun Seasoning: 1–2 tbsp, to taste, for that perfect kick.
    • Creamy Ranch Dressing: ¼ cup, plus extra for dipping.

    Cheese Sauce:

    • Butter: 2 tbsp, for a rich base.
    • Flour: 2 tbsp, to thicken the sauce.
    • Milk: ⅔ cup, to create a creamy consistency.
    • Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 2 cups, for a smooth and cheesy sauce.

Instructions

  • Prepare the Fries:
    • Wash, scrub, and pat dry the potatoes. Peel and slice them into thick fries (¾ inch x 3 inches).
  • Steam the Potatoes:
    • Boil 1 quart of water, season with 3 tbsp salt.
    • Using a basket or colander, steam potatoes over simmering water for 10–12 minutes, until tender but still firm.
  • Coat and Bake:
    • Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.
    • Arrange the fries in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet.
    • Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake another 5–10 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Make the Cheese Sauce:
    • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
    • Whisk in flour and milk until smooth.
    • Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until fully melted and creamy.
  • Assemble:
    • Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over the baked fries and toss gently.
    • Drizzle with ranch dressing and ¼ cup of the cheese sauce.
    • Serve remaining cheese sauce and ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra heat, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili powder over the fries.
  • These fries are also fantastic topped with sliced green onions or crispy bacon bits!
  • You can use any cheese for the sauce, but cheddar gives the best flavor and texture.
