Ingredients
- 500 g Frozen Oven Chips
- 20 g Butter
- 20 g Plain Flour
- 250 ml Milk
- 120 g Extra Mature Cheddar (grated)
- Β½ tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Β½ tsp English Mustard Powder
- Β½ tsp Smoked Paprika
- ΒΌ tsp Cayenne (for sprinkling)
- Β½ tsp Sea Salt (for sprinkling)
Method
- Cook your frozen chips as per packet instructions, either in your air fryer, oven, or deep fat fryer.
- Whilst the chips are cooking, make the cheese sauce by first, melting the butter in a saucepan on the hob
- Stir in the flour then cook the roux paste for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Pour in the milk and use a whisk to get rid of any lumps. Simmer on a medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened (it should coat the back of a wooden spoon). This should only take a few minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat and add the grated cheese and seasonings (apart from the cayenne and salt). Mix with a spoon until the sauce becomes smooth, glossy and all the cheese has melted.
- Take your chips out of the air fryer or oven and put them on a serving plate.
- Pour over the hot cheese sauce and sprinkle over the cayenne and some sea salt.
