Cheese Fries (Easy Air Fryer Cheesy Fries)
Description
These cheese fries are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and covered in a rich, creamy cheddar cheese sauce! The fries cook in the air fryer while the sauce comes together on the stove, so everything is ready in about 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (26-32 ounce) bag Frozen French Fries
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
- Pinch of Paprika
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 8 ounces Cheddar Cheese, freshly shredded
- Thinly sliced Green Onion, optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400℉, then place the fries in 1-2 layers. You should still be able to see the bottom, and air-fry for 12-15 minutes, or follow the directions on the bag. You may need to fry these in batches.
- While the fries are air frying, make the cheesy sauce by melting the butter in your saucepan.
- Then stir in the flour, paprika, salt & pepper.
- Once the dry ingredients are well mixed with the butter, slowly pour in the milk, while constantly stirring, and keeping the mixture thick.
- Then stir in the cheese until completely melted.
- Once both the sauce and the fries are done, place the fries on a large serving plate, pour the cheese sauce all over, and then sprinkle the green onions on top before enjoying!
Notes
- These fries taste the best when freshly made! If you need to save leftovers, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave until warm.
