As a teen I use to get cheese fries from Beef Villa, Fries in a strofoam cup with cheese sauce poured on, ate them with a plastic fork.

Poutine in Canada, was very interesting. Basically it is fries with cheese curds and gravy. It is very good. Recently, I have seen it pop up in NYC restaurants.

Sharp shredded cheddar would be my favorite on fries. Oh yeah! Although truffle fries are quite tasty, but not really "cheese fries" (except for some parmesan cheese...).

A plain 'ol good fry is hard enough to find, much less gunk it up with cheese fries. Or maybe that is the function of the cheese........to hide the BAD fries?

I make them fresh at home and all I need is a little salt on them. Hot and crispy and delicious.

Not really a fan of american cheese for anything but a grilled cheese or a burger. Even then, I'd rather go with other cheeses.

I know white american cheese does not leave the fries soggy and forms a nice cheese coating around them. I highly recommend them.

I've got to say, drooling that all the pictures produced aside, I go for a melted shredded cheese. I think the nacho or liquid cheese leaves the fries soggy too quick. The shredded cheese helps keep the fries crispy. Downside being that the shredded cheese looses it's melty stringy goodness too soon, but I make an effort that the fries do not last that long.

I agree 100%. However, in general, I enjoy good fries all by themselves, rarely do I feel like adding cheese.

Nathan's makes the best cheese fries! Poutine is a must if you are in Canada. I've only had it twice but it was so good. I don't get cheese fries anywhere else. In a diner it's fries with gravy. At home it's ranch dressing or BBQ sauce mixed with ranch. I don't think I eat fries with ketchup that much unless it's the only thing available.

I would go for this in a big way, but I would worry about the wedge fry getting soggy real fast. Perhaps before the wedge cooled down enough to not burn my tongue.

I love cheese fries with white american cheese on them. I've also had cheese fries with provolone cheese and brown gravy that were tasty. Buffalo wedges are also good, while not technically cheese fries, where they are drenched in buffalo sauce with a side of blue cheese

If I have cheesefries at all..they need to be smothered in the creamy stuff...but lots of cheese smothers the taste of the fry. Too much of any topping...and you might as well just have topping...the frie becomes just a vehicle to scoop the cheese into your mouth...so the cheese better be top quality, or I'll stick to plain quality fries!

I've never been happy with the cheese fries I've gotten. The cheese must match the cut of potato.

About two months ago, I was on a cheese kick something fierce and I post a similar question about cheese dogs. I think it really depends on the cut of potato and what fry you are using. Skin-on or off, large cut steak fries or thin? For me, I would use a cheese sauce similar to nacho cheese and use lots of it.

Sounds like 1970's potato skins toppings, transferred to fries!

Sure. Why not. Ketchup and cheese go together on other things - burgers for example.

The beef brings everything together. In the absence on beef, it's ranch or nothing.

I'll have to say "ew" to this, too.
Mayo, if anything, but the best is just melted cheese, bacon bits and jalapenos.

Neither. When it comes to cheeses fries, give me Merkt's cheddar cheese out of a crock or no cheese at all. Unless we're talking poutine, in which case I will take whatever our Canadian brethren think is best. Or if it's on a Horseshoe down in Springfield where a Welsh rarebit type cheese sauce is the norm. But other than that, Merkt's or nuthin'!

No question. A nice cheese sauce poured over the top of the fries. I should try that with tator tots.
