Louisiana Voodoo Fries
Crispy baked fries with a Cajun kick, drizzled with creamy ranch and cheese sauce for a perfect savory snack or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Fries:
- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- ¼ cup creamy ranch dressing (plus extra for dipping)
For the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Wash, scrub, and pat dry potatoes. Peel and slice into thick fries (¾ inch x 3 inches).
- Steam the Potatoes: Boil 1 quart of water, season with 3 tbsp salt. Using a basket or colander, steam potatoes over the simmering water for 10–12 minutes until tender but firm.
- Coat and Bake: Transfer potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly. Arrange in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake another 5–10 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Make the Cheese Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and milk until smooth. Add cheese and stir until fully melted and creamy.
- Assemble: Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over the baked fries and toss gently. Drizzle with ranch dressing and ¼ cup cheese sauce. Serve remaining cheese sauce and ranch on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning depending on how spicy you like it.
- For a more indulgent experience, top the fries with additional cheese sauce or even some chopped green onions.
