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


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




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.

Cheese Fries
2 T Butter
2 T Flour
1 1/2 C Milk
2 1/2 C Cheese
2 t Mustard
1 1/2 t Ketchup
Fried Potatoes
Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour. Whisk in the milk and then let it simmer for a moment and thicken a bit. Stir in the cheese, make it all melty and delicious. Finally stir in the mustard and ketchup. Pour over fried potatoes. Or go the sissy way and put the sauce on the side.
