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.

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.
