FAQs
Q: Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen fries?

Q: Can I make the cheese sauce ahead?
A: Yes. You can make the sauce and chill it. Reheat gently and stir before pouring over fries.
Q: Is there a non-dairy option?
A: You can try a non-dairy milk and dairy-free cheddar, but the texture will change.
Q: How do I make the sauce less spicy?
