How to Prepare Louisiana Voodoo Fries

Making these Louisiana Voodoo Fries is one of my favorite things to do when I want something flavorful, fun, and full of bold character. The preparation is surprisingly simple, and everything comes together quickly with just a bit of layering and seasoning. Whether you’re serving it to a crowd or making it for a cozy night in, this recipe will deliver that signature Cajun kick with minimal effort.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparation:

1. Prepare the Fries:
Start by cooking the fries. You can use frozen French fries or make them from scratch using fresh potatoes. If you’re going the homemade route, peel and cut the potatoes into even strips. Soak them in water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Toss with a little oil, sprinkle with salt and Cajun seasoning, and bake at 220°C (425°F) for about 30–35 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, air fry or deep fry them for extra crunch.

2. Cook the Turkey Bacon:
While the fries are baking, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy, turning occasionally. Once cooked, set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop into small pieces.

3. Make the Voodoo Sauce:
In a bowl, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and a dash of hot sauce if you like heat. Mix until smooth and creamy. This spicy, zesty sauce will be your flavor booster.

4. Season the Fries:
When the fries are done, sprinkle them with more Cajun seasoning, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss gently to ensure each fry is coated with flavor.

5. Assemble the Voodoo Fries:
On a large oven-safe tray, spread the seasoned fries evenly. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Add the chopped turkey bacon generously over the cheese layer. Drizzle some of the Voodoo sauce on top. Place the tray back in the oven for 5–7 minutes or until the cheese melts completely.

6. Final Touches:
Once out of the oven, drizzle more Voodoo sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and parsley for color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
