Step 1

Grate the cheese

Step 2

Begin to cook your chips as you normally would - I often just use oven chips for this recipe - so, cook as per packet instructions (or make from fresh if you'd prefer)

Step 3

Whilst the chips are cooking, heat a non-stick saucepan to low heat

Step 4

Add in the butter until it has melted

Step 5

Then tip in the plain flour, stirring with a wooden spoon until a paste forms

Step 6

Cook this paste on low heat for 2 minutes (stirring throughout)

Step 7

Next, GRADUALLY add milk - a little at a time. As you add the milk in, stir continuously to mix with the paste. You're aiming for a smooth sauce, so please don't add all the milk in at once, take your time to combine the paste and milk until smooth (as the milk heats up it'll help to melt the paste a bit too).

Step 8

Once all the milk has been added, gradually begin to add in the grated cheese, stirring to melt as you do so

Step 9

Cook for 3 more minutes, until the sauce is thick and smooth

Step 10

Sprinkle in the garlic granules (if using) and salt - stir to combine

Step 11

If the sauce is too thick, add some more milk

Step 12

Once cooked, turn the heat off

Step 13

Once the chips are cooked, pour the cheese sauce all over them, and enjoy!
