Method

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
Cut potatoes into 1cm thick fries, soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat dry.
Toss fries with oil, spread on baking sheet, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
In a saucepan, combine milk, flour, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Add both cheeses to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth.
Braise the fries in the cheesy gravy for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the fries to absorb the sauce.
Serve immediately with additional cheese and gravy on the side.
