Step 1

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil on the stovetop while you peel and cut the potatoes. Blanch the potatoes in the boiling salted water for 4 minutes while you pre-heat the air fryer to 400F / 200c. Strain the potatoes and rinse them with cold water. Dry them well with a clean kitchen towel. 2 to 3 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch sticks 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 1 to 112 cups milk 1/2 cup grated white Cheddar cheese pinch of nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning 2. Toss the dried potato sticks gently with the oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 25 minutes, shaking the basket a few times while the fries cook to help them brown evenly. 3. While the fries are cooking., melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute. Slowly add 1 cup of milk, whisking constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and continue to whisk untilit thickens. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Cheddar cheese. Add a pinch of nutmeg and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the warm cheese sauce to a serving dish. Thin with more milk if you want the sauce a little thinner.
