Ingredients
For the French Fries:
- 1 Package French fries frozen
- 2 Tablespoons Cajun seasoning or to taste
- ranch dressing to serve
For the Cheese Sauce:
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 Cup milk

Instructions
Cook the Fries:
- Prepare the frozen French fries according to the package instructions — bake, air fry, or deep fry until crispy.
- Once cooked, sprinkle the fries with the Cajun seasoning and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce:
- Make the sauce while the fries are cooking. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the flour mixture (roux) turns golden and bubbly.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Cook until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, stirring until melted and smooth.
- For extra heat, sprinkle in a bit of chili powder, if liked.
- Remove from the heat.
Assemble the Dish:
- Transfer the seasoned fries onto a warmed serving platter.
- Drizzle the warm cheese sauce generously over them.
- Drizzle the ranch over the cheese sauce or serve on the side for dipping.
- Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.
Notes
Season immediately: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning onto the fries as soon as they come out of the oven, fryer, or air fryer. The heat helps the seasoning stick.
Use freshly shredded cheese: Use this for the creamiest cheese sauce because the starches found in pre-shredded cheese can make the sauce grainy.
Don’t skip the ranch dressing: This cool dressing balances the spicy, cheesy fries perfectly. Serve it on the side or drizzle a little on top.
Serve them right away: Voodoo fries are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so the fries stay crisp and the cheese sauce stays smooth.
