Cheese Sauce for Fried Potatoes
A hot, creamy cheese sauce for fried potatoes, made with butter, flour, milk, and cream along with mozzarella and cheddar, and seasoned with black pepper, turmeric, salt, and mustard. It is prepared over low heat, taking care not to cook the cheese for too long after adding it, and served immediately over the potatoes with parsley or green onion for garnish.
A warm, creamy cheese sauce made to pour over fried potatoes or serve as a dip.
Like a cheesy gravy or a nacho-style sauce.
Keep the heat gentle so the cheese stays smooth and does not separate. It should be thick, creamy, and easy to spoon.

- Mozzarella cheese
- Cheddar cheese

- Add the black pepper, turmeric, salt, and mustard to the pot over low heat.

- Add the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese to the pot.
- Stir the cheese in the pot only until it warms and melts; do not cook it for too long in the pot after adding the cheese so that the sauce does not separate.

- Garnish the dish with parsley or green onion, and a little pressed falafel or jalapeño may be added when serving.
