  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Fries

  • 1 pound frozen French fries
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Ranch dressing for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Fries: Cook the frozen French fries according to the package directions, typically by baking in the oven, until they are crispy and golden brown.
  2. Season the Fries: Immediately after cooking, sprinkle the hot fries evenly with 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning to infuse them with bold flavor.
  3. Make the Roux: In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux, which will thicken the cheese sauce.
  4. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
  5. Incorporate Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ½ teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Continue stirring until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Assemble the Fries: Arrange the seasoned fries on a serving platter and pour the hot cheese sauce evenly over them.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top and drizzle with ranch dressing if desired for added creaminess and flavor.
  8. Serve Immediately: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries while hot to enjoy the crispy fries and creamy cheese sauce at their best.

Notes

  • Add crispy bacon bits for extra flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more intense cheese flavor in the sauce.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch.
  • Offer ranch dressing on the side for guests to customize their fries.
