Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 1 pound frozen or fresh French fries
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (if baking fresh potatoes)
Voodoo Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the fries: Cook the French fries according to the package instructions if using frozen. If using fresh-cut potatoes, toss them with vegetable oil and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) until crispy and golden, about 20-25 minutes.
- Make the voodoo sauce: While the fries are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the fries: Once the fries are cooked and hot, transfer them to a serving dish. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries so it melts slightly from the heat.
- Dress and garnish: Drizzle the prepared voodoo sauce generously over the fries and finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
- Serve: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries immediately while hot and crispy for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
- For added flavor, try adding crumbled bacon over the fries.
- You can swap shredded cheddar cheese for pepper jack cheese for a spicier kick.
- Air frying the fries is an excellent alternative method for achieving a crisp texture.
