Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the russet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick strips, then toss them in vegetable oil and salt. Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake the potatoes for about 30 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.

CHEESE SAUCE

While fries are baking, make the cheese sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the all-purpose flour to form a roux.

Gradually pour in the milk, continuously stirring. Allow the mixture to heat until it thickens, but does not boil.

Add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the saucepan, stirring until melted and smooth.

ASSEMBLY

Remove fries from the oven and pour the cheese sauce on top.

Garnish with bacon bits and chopped chives.

Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side.
