Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into evenly sized wedges, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until well coated.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25β30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the skim milk and cornstarch until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2β3 minutes.
Once the milk mixture thickens, gradually stir in the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, a handful at a time, until melted and smooth.
If desired, stir in hot sauce for a subtle kick of heat. Remove the cheese sauce from the heat and cover to keep warm.
Once the fries are done, transfer them to a serving plate. Drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the fries.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your WW Cheese Fries!
