Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Toppings and Sauce

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup bacon bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform ¼-inch thick strips to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Soak and Dry the Fries: Place the cut fries in cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to avoid oil splatter and sogginess.
  3. Fry the Potatoes (First Fry): Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches for 4-5 minutes until lightly golden but not fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Fry Again for Crispiness: Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil and place on fresh paper towels.
  5. Season the Fries: While hot, sprinkle fries evenly with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Toss well to coat each fry and infuse with bold Louisiana flavor.
  6. Prepare the Voodoo Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with hot sauce until smooth and spicy. Adjust hot sauce amount to your preferred heat level.
  7. Assemble the Fries: Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet. Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the fries, then place under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts beautifully. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle the voodoo sauce over the cheesy fries. Top with chopped green onions and, if desired, crispy bacon bits. Serve immediately for maximum crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Double Fry Technique: Frying twice results in fries that are ultra-crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy center.
  • Dry Your Potatoes: Removing moisture before frying helps prevent sogginess and dangerous oil splatter.
  • Even Sizing: Cutting fries uniformly ensures even cooking and avoids undercooked pieces.
  • Broil Cheese Carefully: Keep a close eye on the cheese under the broiler to prevent burning.
  • Customize Heat: Add hot sauce gradually to achieve your perfect spice balance.
