• Bake fries in a single layer on a baking sheet for 25 minutes at 425 degrees. Alternatively, for crispier fries, they can be deep fried in 375 oil for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. The total time can vary so please refer to your package directions.
• Place fries in a large bowl immediately after finishing cooking and add Old Bay seasoning to season fries. Toss to coat.*

Cheese sauce

• While fries cook prepare the cheese sauce by first melting butter in a medium saucepan then mixing in flour. Cook the mixture for three minutes while stirring.
• Stir in the cream cheese and mix until it is blended with the flour mixture and no lumps are seen.
• Slowly mix in half and half and milk a couple of splashes at a time until all of it has been added. Then melt in the Cheddar cheese a handful at a time and add salt.
• If the sauce is too thin, simmer it briefly to thicken. If the sauce gets too thick dribble in a little more milk.
• Place fries in a serving dish and top fries with cheese sauce or serve on the side.
