Description
Enjoy the bold and spicy flavors of Louisiana Voodoo Fries, a copycat Wingstop recipe featuring crispy fried potatoes tossed in Cajun seasoning and topped with warm cheese sauce and creamy ranch dressing. Perfect as a snack or side, these fries offer a deliciously indulgent experience with a mouthwatering blend of spices and toppings.
Ingredients
Fries
- 1 lb potatoes, cut into strips (or frozen fries for convenience)
- Neutral oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Toppings
- ½ cup cheese sauce (storebought nacho cheese or homemade)
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (copycat Wingstop ranch dressing recommended)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: If using fresh potatoes, cut them into even strips and soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat completely dry with paper towels before frying to ensure crispiness.
- Fry the Potatoes: Heat a few inches of neutral oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches, avoiding overcrowding, and cook each batch for about 4–6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain excess oil on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
- Season the Fries: While the fries are still hot, transfer them to a bowl and toss evenly with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning to coat them with spicy flavor.
- Add the Toppings: Pile the seasoned fries onto a serving plate. Drizzle warm cheese sauce diagonally over the fries, followed by a drizzle of ranch dressing to add creamy tanginess.
- Serve: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy with a fork or with your fingers for a perfect snack or side dish.
Notes
- Soaking fresh potatoes in cold water helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
- If using frozen fries, skip soaking and proceed directly to frying according to package instructions or recipe steps.
- Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying results.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning amount according to your preferred spice level.
- For best flavor, use homemade nacho cheese sauce and ranch dressing, but store-bought versions work well for convenience.
