Instructions

Wash, scrub, and pat dry the potatoes. Peel them, then cut into thick fries (¾ inch by 3 inches).
Bring 1 quart of water to a simmer with 3 tablespoons of salt.
Place potatoes in a basket or colander over the simmering water, cover, and steam for 10–12 minutes until just tender. Do not overcook.
Transfer steamed potatoes to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss gently to coat evenly.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet.
Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for another 5–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, whisk in flour and milk until smooth. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Remove fries from the oven, sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly, and toss gently to coat.
Drizzle fries with ranch dressing and about ¼ cup of cheese sauce.
Serve immediately with extra ranch and cheese sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and even crisping.
Adjust Cajun seasoning to your spice preference.
Cheese sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently.
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, bacon bits, or jalapeños.
