Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the fries with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, then toss again until the fries are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the seasoned potato fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle them evenly with the shredded low sodium cheddar cheese.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Transfer the cheesy fries to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving.
Enjoy your Low Sodium Cheesy Fries immediately, either as a snack or paired with the main course of your choice.
