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)
Serving
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is sufficiently hot for baking crispy fries evenly.
- Season the Fries: Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle Cajun seasoning over them, and toss gently to coat all fries evenly with oil and spices.
- Bake the Fries: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing the fries halfway through to promote even browning until fries are golden and crispy.
- Add Cheese: Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar over the top. Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese thoroughly.
- Top and Finish: After cheese melts and becomes bubbly, remove fries from the oven. Drizzle hot sauce over the fries according to your desired spice level and scatter chopped green onions for freshness and crunch.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries hot and crispy with a side of cool sour cream for dipping to balance the heat and add creaminess.
Notes
- Use thick-cut frozen fries for best texture and ease.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the heat level.
- Toss fries halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness.
- Serve immediately after adding toppings to maintain crispiness.
- For extra crunch, you can broil for 1-2 minutes instead of baking the cheese on.
