- While the fries are baking make the caramelized onions: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the onions, salt and sugar, and cook the onions until they're nicely browned.
- To serve place the French fries on a plate, top with sliced American cheese or shredded Cheddar cheese, top with caramelized onions and spoon over some sauce. Serve immediately.
- If using shredded Cheddar, plate the fries, sprinkle the cheese over them and microwave briefly until melted, then top with onions and sauce.
