Ingredients
For the Fries
28–32 oz frozen French fries (crinkle cut or straight)—brands like Alexia or Ore-Ida work best for crispiness
1–2 tablespoons oil (for baking or air-frying, if needed)
For the Voodoo Cheese Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅔ cup milk
2 cups medium cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
Salt, to taste
For the Topping
4 tablespoons ranch dressing (plus extra for dipping)
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (store-bought or with minimal MSG like Slap Ya Mama or Tony Chachere’s)
Optional garnish: chopped green onions or parsley
Directions
Crisp the Fries
Cook fries until golden—bake, air-fry, or deep-fry. For air fryer: preheat to 400 °F, air-fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket midway to ensure even crisping.
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, whisk in flour, and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and thickened, then remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar until fully melted. Season with salt if needed.
Assemble the Dish
Arrange hot fries on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with cheese sauce, follow with ranch dressing, then sprinkle Cajun seasoning on top. Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
