Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the fries:

• Frozen French fries or hand-cut potatoes

• Olive oil or cooking spray

• Cajun seasoning

For the Voodoo sauce:

• Mayonnaise

• Ketchup

• Hot sauce (like Louisiana or your favorite brand)

• Creole or Dijon mustard

• Garlic powder

• Smoked paprika

• Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice

Toppings:

• Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

• Cooked crumbled chicken or beef (optional)

• Pickled jalapeños

• Green onions or chopped parsley

Directions

1. I bake or air-fry the French fries according to package instructions (or fry hand-cut potatoes) until golden and crispy.

2. I season the hot fries immediately with Cajun seasoning for extra flavor.

3. In a small bowl, I whisk together the mayo, ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, and seasonings to make the Voodoo sauce.

4. I spread the fries out on a serving platter or cast iron skillet, then drizzle the sauce over the top.

5. I sprinkle on shredded cheese, jalapeños, and any optional protein or toppings.

6. I broil for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese is melty and bubbly.

7. I garnish with green onions or herbs and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 4 and takes around 25–30 minutes total, depending on whether I use frozen or homemade fries.

Variations

• I sometimes use sweet potato fries for a sweet-spicy twist.

• Swapping cheddar for pepper jack or a cheese sauce gives it more kick.

• For a meatless version, I skip the protein and add black beans or sautéed mushrooms.

• I drizzle with ranch or extra hot sauce for added richness and heat.

Storage/Reheating

These fries are best served fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F until crispy again. I avoid the microwave to keep the fries from going soggy.
