Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag frozen French fries about 20 oz
  • 1/2 lb smoked andouille sausage sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños optional
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • Cajun seasoning to taste
For the Voodoo Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp hot sauce like Crystal or Tabasco
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven according to the French fries package instructions. Bake until crispy and golden.
  2. While the fries are baking, brown the sliced andouille sausage in a skillet over medium heat, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together all the voodoo sauce ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust heat with extra hot sauce if desired.
  4. Once fries are done, spread them on a large oven-safe tray or cast iron skillet. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Return to the oven for 3–5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
  6. Top with browned sausage, drizzle with voodoo sauce, then garnish with jalapeños and green onions.
  7. Finish with a generous shake of Cajun seasoning and serve immediately.

Notes

Louisiana Voodoo Fries – Helpful Tips

Cooking Tips & Techniques
Start with crispy fries — either deep-fried, air-fried, or baked until golden and crunchy. A sturdy fry holds toppings better.
Toss your fries with a Cajun seasoning blend while hot so the spices cling to every bite.
For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
Layer warm fries with melty cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a spicy pepper jack for creamy, gooey richness.
Top just before serving to maintain crispiness — add the sauce and toppings after fries are fully cooked and plated.
Serving Suggestions
Serve as a bold appetizer, party platter, or indulgent side to burgers or fried chicken.
Pair with a cold drink — sweet tea, lemonade, or a light beer complement the spice perfectly.
Drizzle with ranch or voodoo sauce and garnish with chopped scallions, bacon bits, or jalapeños for maximum flavor.
Turn it into a loaded fry bowl by adding crispy chicken bites or pulled pork on top.
Make-Ahead & Storage
Make-Ahead: Prep the voodoo sauce and toppings in advance — store in the fridge until ready to assemble.
Refrigerator: Store leftover fries in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Freezer: It’s best to freeze components separately — not recommended to freeze fully assembled fries.
Reheat: Use an air fryer or oven at 375°F to bring fries back to life. Add sauce and toppings after reheating.
Tasty Variations to Try
Vegan Voodoo Fries: Use dairy-free cheese, vegan ranch, and skip the meat-based toppings.
Extra Spicy Version: Mix ghost pepper sauce into your voodoo drizzle and top with sliced habaneros.
Cajun Shrimp Topping: Add sautéed or blackened shrimp tossed in Cajun butter for a seafood twist.
Loaded Nacho Fries: Add black beans, pico de gallo, and avocado for a Tex-Mex flair.
Sweet Potato Base: Swap classic fries for sweet potato fries to add sweetness that balances the heat.
