  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

For the Fries

  • 1 lb frozen thick-cut French fries
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning

For Topping

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)

For Serving

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s hot and ready for crispy fries. A properly heated oven ensures even cooking and ultimate crunch.
  2. Season the Fries: Spread the frozen fries out on a large baking sheet in a single layer for maximum crispiness. Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, then toss them gently to coat every fry evenly in oil and spices.
  3. Bake the Fries: Place the seasoned fries in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing them halfway through the baking time so they brown evenly on all sides. Bake until golden and crispy.
  4. Add Cheese: Remove the fries from the oven, immediately sprinkle them with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. This melts the cheese perfectly over the hot fries.
  5. Top and Finish: Take the fries out once the cheese is bubbly and melted. Drizzle with hot sauce to your liking and scatter chopped green onions over the top for freshness and crunch.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries right away while they’re hot and crispy, with cool sour cream on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Customize the heat by using more or less hot sauce, or selecting a variety with your preferred spice level.
  • Try pepper jack or Monterey jack cheese for a twist on flavor and extra meltiness.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure the cheese and sour cream you use are vegetarian-friendly.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, as fries will soften as they sit.
