Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped scallions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel and cut the russet potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the fries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Spread them out on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with salt.
- Bake the fries for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- While the fries are baking, make the cheese sauce. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk, stirring until the mixture thickens. Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Once fries are done, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Pour the cheese sauce over the fries, then sprinkle with crumbled bacon and garnish with chopped scallions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Shake Shack Bacon Cheese Fries!
