Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet or in the air fryer. Cook according to package instructions, around 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbly. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, cooking for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk while whisking. Add salt, pepper, ranch seasoning, and cayenne. Cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Lower heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded white cheddar until melted and smooth.
- Transfer crispy fries to a platter and pour the cheese sauce over them. Sprinkle with extra cayenne if desired and serve warm.

Notes
For best results, serve immediately after topping fries with sauce to maintain crispiness.
