Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 1 lb frozen thick-cut French fries
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
Toppings
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
Dip
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature ensures your fries will cook evenly and develop a crispy texture.
- Season the Fries: Spread the frozen fries out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Cajun seasoning over them. Toss gently to coat the fries evenly with oil and spices.
- Bake the Fries: Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning. Bake until fries are golden and crispy.
- Add Cheese: Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese over them. Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese thoroughly.
- Top and Finish: Take out the fries when the cheese is bubbly and melted. Drizzle with hot sauce to your desired spice level and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for freshness and crunch.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries immediately while hot and crispy, accompanied by cool sour cream on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use thick-cut fries for a hearty texture that holds up well to the toppings.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
- For extra crispiness, spread fries out with space between them on the baking sheet.
- Leftover fries can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
