Description
Louisiana Voodoo Fries are a bold, cheesy Southern-inspired snack featuring crispy Cajun-spiced fries drizzled with creamy ranch and cheddar cheese sauce. Perfect for game days or indulgent comfort food cravings.
Ingredients
- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup creamy ranch dressing (plus extra for dipping)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Wash, scrub, and pat dry the potatoes. Peel them (optional), then cut into approximately 3/4″ × 3″ fries.
- Bring salted water to a boil and steam fries for about 10–12 minutes until tender but still firm.
- Drain, toss in olive oil, and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes, flip, then bake another 5–10 minutes until golden brown.
- While fries bake, melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, and gradually add milk. Stir in cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Toss baked fries with Cajun seasoning, drizzle with ranch dressing and about 1/4 cup cheese sauce. Serve immediately with extra ranch and cheese sauce on the side.
Notes
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to improve crispiness.
- Use fresh grated cheddar for a smoother cheese sauce.
- Store fries and sauce separately in airtight containers up to 3 days.
- Reheat fries at 375°F for 10 minutes and warm cheese sauce with a splash of milk.
- Use air fryer at 400°F for 15–20 minutes for crispier fries.
