  • Optional: sautéed mushrooms, grilled chicken, or spiced chickpeas

Instructions

  1. Fries: If using fresh potatoes, cut into thick fries and soak in cold water for 30 minutes.
  2. Drain, pat dry, and toss with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

  3. Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour to make a roux.
  4. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then slowly whisk in the milk. Stir until smooth and thickened, then add cheddar cheese, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  5. Voodoo Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, vinegar, and sugar.
  6. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste — add more heat or tang if preferred.

  7. Assembly: Place the hot fries on a serving tray or plate. Drizzle generously with cheese sauce.
  8. Add toppings like jalapenos, onions, scallions, and herbs. Drizzle voodoo sauce on top for the final flavor punch.

  9. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot sauce in the voodoo sauce.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on personal preferences — get creative!
  • Leftover cheese sauce can be refrigerated and reheated for another delicious meal.
