Cheese Fries A Mound of Unicorn-Like Delecability!

Fried potatoes are undeniably delicious.Cheese is magical.Therefore the two together are a power team of tasty glorious unicorn-like delecability! They are however, pretty self-explanitory, so i won't torture you with a long explination of how amazing they are. So, yes. Onward to apptitie-watering! (thats like mouth watering, only you get to be creative and decide what your appatite looks like...maybe give it a name...)

Ingredients: Potatoes, Flour, Butter, Salt, Ketchup, Mustard


And of course, the dairy: Milk and Cheese (we're just using cheddar, but you could go crazy and get creative!)

Now, of course you could use frozen french fries instead of making your own from potatoes. Laziness tastes just as good, and has less chance of turning out badly.


Grate yourself some cheese, because cheese is delicious. Also it is a main component in this recipe.

Now melt some butter for the roux. We're mostly just going to make a basic cheese sauce. It will be delicious.


Now add the flour, whisk it together until it's all combined and bubbly. Bubble bubble.


Whisk in the milk. You could use whole milk if you wanted to. Or you could use skim. Or 1%! But don't use powdered milk, because that stuff's just gross.


Stir in all that cheesy goodness you grated earlier. Stir it till it is no longer lumpy. Lumpy cheese sauce is unacceptable. Or delicious. Whichever way you want to look at it.


Now here's where we get fancy. Mustard. Mustard to make it taste yummy.


And a little ketchup as well. That will also make it taste delicious.


Now for the potatoes. Get some oil going, make it hot. Hot. Hot.


You can peel the potatoes if you like. We decided to leave a little peel on them. POTATOES!


NOw cut them into your desired french fry shape.


That's what's so much fun about making your own, you can have fun and make them pretty.


Now put the potatoes in oil!


SIZZLE!

And then take them out and put them on some paper towels to drain the oil.


After you cook them all, you can put them in a paper bag

With some salt

And maybe some pepper as well

Put them on a plate!

I enjoy french fries. Do you?


Now pour some cheese on top. Cheese is good. You probably wont put all of it on. There is quite a bit.

Hoorah! Cheese Fries! They are so yummy!
