Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut potatoes into fries. Toss fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

3. 3

   In a medium pot, bring water to a boil; add cooked boba and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain boba and toss with brown sugar for flavor.

4. 4

   In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth; bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Stir in shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Add cayenne if desired.

6. 6

   Remove fries from the oven; layer boba over the fries. Drizzle cheese sauce generously over the top.
