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)
Sides
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking crispy fries.
- Season the Fries: Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the fries, sprinkle Cajun seasoning, then toss gently to coat evenly.
- Bake the Fries: Bake the seasoned fries for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through to promote even browning until fries are golden and crispy.
- Add Cheese: Remove fries from the oven, sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top, and return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Top and Finish: Take the fries out when cheese is bubbly and melted. Drizzle with hot sauce and scatter chopped green onions on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries immediately while hot and crispy, alongside sour cream for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your spice preference.
- Ensure fries are spread in a single layer to get maximum crispiness.
- For extra crispy fries, consider broiling for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded variants.
