How to Make Creamy Cheesy Potato Stix
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and cut 2 lbs potatoes into 1/2-inch thick sticks using a french fry cutter (or knife).
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the cheese sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until smooth and thickened.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder until melted and smooth.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add them to the cheese sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
