Cheese Fries

What is it?

Crinkle-cut fries come topped with a warm, pourable cheese sauce, served as a side in Shake Shack's fry lineup. Smooth and fluid, the sauce is closer to a blanket than a dip, so it settles into the ridges and valleys of each fry. Crinkle shape matters here, since those ridges hold more sauce than a smooth-cut fry would. Compared with the plain fries, this version adds cheese topping only. In Shake Shack's three-step fry lineup, it sits between the basic fries and the bacon cheese version. Sauce is made in-house at each location and held warm in a dispenser, keeping it loose enough to flow.
