Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) frozen French fries (or homemade fries)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Spices:
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for crispier fries)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (e.g., Louisiana Hot Sauce or your favorite brand)
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup crumbled bacon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the potato strips by coating them with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of zesty Cajun seasoning. Roast in a preheated oven or air fryer until they transform into golden, crispy delights. Transfer the sizzling fries to a spacious serving platter.
- Craft a velvety cheese sauce by first creating a silky roux with melted butter and flour. Gradually introduce milk, whisking continuously to eliminate any lumps and achieve a smooth consistency. Incorporate sharp cheddar cheese, a hint of garlic powder, and an additional dash of Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Artfully layer the creation by generously cascading the warm cheese sauce over the crisp potato strips. Add a tangy ranch dressing drizzle and a vibrant splash of hot sauce for an extra kick of excitement.
- Elevate the presentation by scattering crisp, crumbled bacon fragments across the surface. Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and a final whisper of Cajun seasoning to add depth and visual appeal.
- Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries immediately while piping hot, accompanied by additional ranch or hot sauce for those craving an extra flavor punch. Invite guests to dive into this bold, spicy, and utterly irresistible dish.
Notes
