Voodoo Cajun Fries (Printable Version)
Golden fries meet Cajun spice, crunchy bacon, gooey cheddar, and creamy spicy ranch for a big, bold Southern snack.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 -
4 to 5 medium russet potatoes cut into strips or use 1 pound of frozen French fries
→ Toppings
02 -
Two green onions finely chopped
03 -
A cup and a half of shredded cheddar
04 -
About half a cup of crumbled cooked bacon, roughly 6 slices
→ Seasoning and Sauce
05 -
Half a cup of ranch dressing
06 -
Two teaspoons Cajun spice blend
07 -
One to two tablespoons hot sauce (like Crystal or Tabasco)
08 -
Half a teaspoon paprika
09 -
Half a teaspoon garlic powder
10 -
Quarter cup sour cream (totally optional for topping)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Spoon some sour cream on top if you want, then dig in right away while it’s fresh.
02 -
Mix up ranch, hot sauce, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Pour this over the fries.
03 -
Sprinkle the fresh green onions and crispy bacon bits over your melty fries.
04 -
Lay the seasoned fries out on a tray. Cover them with cheddar, then broil a couple of minutes until it’s all oozy.
05 -
Toss your hot fries with the Cajun spice so they’re coated all over.
06 -
If you’ve got frozen fries, just cook as the bag says or drop fresh ones into 375°F oil for 15 minutes until they’re gold and crispy. Let extra oil drain off.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Keep things milder by using less hot sauce or choosing a gentler Cajun mix.
02 -
Ditch the bacon or use a non-meaty option to make it veggie-friendly.
03 -
Go lighter by baking your fries and grabbing a reduced-fat ranch.
