Description
Louisiana Voodoo Fries are crispy, seasoned fries topped with ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and green onions, offering a flavorful twist to a classic dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier texture when frying.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the hot fries in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned fries on a serving platter. Drizzle with ranch dressing, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese and feta cheese, if using. Top with chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper or drizzle with hot sauce before serving.
- Try adding cooked and crumbled bacon for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
