Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s hot and ready for crispy fries. A properly heated oven ensures even cooking and ultimate crunch.
Season the Fries: Spread the frozen fries out on a large baking sheet in a single layer for maximum crispiness. Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, then toss gently to coat every fry evenly in oil and spices.
Bake the Fries: Place the seasoned fries in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing them halfway through to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. Bake until fries are golden and crispy.
Add Cheese: Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese over them. Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese perfectly.
Top and Finish: Once the cheese is bubbly and melted, take the fries out of the oven. Drizzle them with hot sauce according to your taste and scatter the chopped green onions over the top for fresh flavor and crunch.
Garnish and Serve: Serve the Louisiana Voodoo Fries immediately while they are hot and crispy. Accompany with cool sour cream on the side for dipping to add a creamy contrast to the spicy fries.

Notes

For extra crispiness, spread fries in a single layer without overlapping.
Adjust hot sauce quantity to your preferred spice level.
Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melting and flavor.
Sour cream can be substituted with ranch dressing or blue cheese dip.
For a vegetarian version, ensure the hot sauce and Cajun seasoning do not contain animal-derived ingredients.
