List of Ingredients

1 pound of frozen french fries
3 tablespoons butter.
2 tablespoons white flour
dash of black pepper
2 cups of milk
8 ounces (2 cups) of grated cheddar cheese



Recipe


Place about 1 pound of frozen french fries in a 1-1/2 quart
casserole. Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes while you
prepare the cheese sauce (the french fries in this recipe
will not be browned or crispy).
Cheese sauce:
In a saucepan prepare a roux. Melt 3 tablespoons butter.
Blend in 2 tablespoons white flour and a dash of black
pepper. Cook briefly over medium heat until the roux
bubbles. Whisk in 2 cups of milk; cook and stir until thick
and bubbly. Turn off heat and stir in 8 ounces (2 cups) of
grated cheddar cheese; stir until melted.
Pour enough of the cheese sauce over the french fries to
cover them. You may have some cheese sauce left over. You
can refrigerate it for a few days or freeze it.
Bake at 350F for about 35 minutes.
