- Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a lined baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then whisk in the flour for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in milk, stirring continuously for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Add salt, ground pepper, ranch seasoning, and cayenne powder, adjusting spice to preference.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Remove the fries from heat, arrange on a serving platter, and drizzle the cheese sauce generously over them.
