Step 1
Cook the 1 lb frozen french fries according to package directions until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes in a 425°F oven.
Step 2
While fries cook, fry the 4 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into bits.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in the 1 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the 0.5 cup milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the 1 cup cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Pour sauce over hot fries and sprinkle with bacon bits.
