Cut the fries and soak them to remove excess starch.

Drain the fries completely.

Boil a large pot of water.

Add the fries to the boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until they are soft but not breaking apart.

Drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure oil sticks to them.

Place the fries in a clean bowl and season with salt, then gently mix to avoid breaking them.

Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the fries in an oven preheated to 475°F for 20 to 40 minutes, turning them occasionally for even cooking.

While the fries are baking, prepare the cheese sauce by melting 1.5 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and adding 1.5 tablespoons of flour to make a roux.

Slowly whisk in 1.5 cups of cold milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring to a simmer until thickened.

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and a hint of cayenne pepper.

Remove the sauce from heat and stir in old yellow cheddar, mozzarella, garlic bread cheese, and asiago until melted.

Once the fries are crispy, pile them up on a plate and pour the cheese sauce over them.

Top with loads of chives before serving.
