Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 26 ounces frozen French fries
Cheese Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder, divided
- 8 ounces white cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat and cook fries: Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake or air fry until the fries are golden brown and crispy, following the package instructions for timing.
- Make roux: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the all-purpose flour until fully combined and cook the mixture for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Add milk and seasonings: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the salt, ground white pepper, ranch seasoning powder, and half of the cayenne powder.
- Thicken cheese sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon—about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble and serve: Pour the hot cheese sauce evenly over the cooked fries. Sprinkle the remaining cayenne powder on top for an extra spicy kick if desired. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the rich, spicy flavors of this delicious Louisiana Voodoo Fries dish.
Notes
- You can use either an oven or an air fryer to cook the fries based on your preference.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce or omit the cayenne powder.
- For extra crispiness, spread fries in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet or air fryer basket.
- Ranch seasoning powder can be substituted with ranch dressing mix if unavailable.
- This cheese sauce can also be used as a dip for other snacks like chips or vegetables.
