• • ¼ cup cooked and crumbled bacon

• • 2 green onions, sliced

• • ¼ cup pickled jalapeños (optional)

• • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

• • ½ cup mayonnaise

• • 1 tablespoon ketchup

• • 1 tablespoon hot sauce

• • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• • Salt and pepper to taste

• • Cooking spray or oil (for fries)

DIRECTIONS

• • Step No.1: Cook the fries Preheat your oven or air fryer cooking according to package directions. Cook the fries until golden brown and crispy, then season with Cajun spice.

• • Step No.2: Make the voodoo sauce In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.

• • Step No.3: Melt the cheese Place cooked fries on a baking sheet or oven-safe tray. Top with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Melt under a broiler for 2–3 minutes.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• • Crispy Fries Are Key: Make sure the fries are extra crispy before adding toppings so they hold up under cheese and sauce.

• • Balance the Sauce: Taste the voodoo sauce as you go to achieve your ideal mix of creamy, spicy, and tangy flavors.

• • Use Fresh Cheese: Shred cheese from a block for better melting and flavor—it avoids anti-caking agents in pre-shredded cheese.

• • Layer Strategically: Add cheese first, then toppings, so everything adheres well and each bite has all components.

• • Air Fryer Advantage: Using an air fryer delivers crispier fries faster and with less oil than traditional frying.

• • Serve Immediately: These fries are best eaten right after assembly while hot and crispy—avoid letting them sit too long.

• • Customize Freely: Don't hesitate to swap in different cheeses or add grilled chicken for a heartier version.

VARIATIONS

• • Buffalo Style: Add buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles for a tangy, spicy twist on the classic voodoo fry flavor.

• • Chicken Voodoo Fries: Top with shredded rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken strips for added protein and a satisfying meal.

• • Seafood Kick: Add fried shrimp or crawfish tails to bring a true louisiana seafood flair to your voodoo fries.

• • Extra Spicy: Mix ghost pepper or habanero sauce into the voodoo sauce if you're a fan of extreme heat.

• • Vegetarian Version: Skip the bacon and use plant-based cheese and vegan diet mayo for a flavorful meat-free snack.

• • Loaded BBQ Fries: Drizzle with BBQ sauce instead of voodoo sauce and use pulled pork for a Southern barbecue twist.

• • Tex-Mex Fusion: Add pico de gallo, black beans, and queso for a fun Tex-Mex take on the voodoo fry base.
