Cheesy Potato Strips with Creamy Cheese Sauce: Comfort Food Made Simple

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Rinse and pat dry.

Boil the potato strips in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Heat a pan with some oil and sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until soft and fragrant.

In another pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Gradually whisk in milk or cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.

Add grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.

Meanwhile, pan-fry or oven-bake the potato strips until crispy and golden.

Serve the crispy potato strips topped with the sautéed veggies and creamy cheese sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
