Cajun Voodoo Fries (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 to 5 medium russet potatoes sliced into fries or 1 pound of frozen French fries

→ Toppings

02 - 2 green onions chopped up thin
03 - 6 strips of cooked bacon crumbled (makes about half a cup)
04 - 1 and a half cups of shredded cheddar cheese

→ Seasoning and Sauce

05 - Half a cup ranch dressing
06 - One to two tablespoons hot sauce like Crystal or Tabasco
07 - 2 teaspoons Cajun spice blend
08 - A quarter cup sour cream (optional for topping)
09 - Half a teaspoon paprika
10 - Half a teaspoon garlic powder

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Spoon a little sour cream on top if you want and dig in while they're steamy hot.
02 - Stir together ranch, hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Pour the sauce all over the top of your fries.
03 - After the cheese melts, throw the green onions and bacon bits over the top.
04 - Spread your seasoned fries out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle them with cheddar and stick under the broiler for a couple minutes to melt everything.
05 - While fries are still hot, toss them around with the Cajun spices so they're covered all over.
06 - Cook the fries in a hot oven or fry them in oil at 375°F (190°C) for around 15 minutes until they turn crispy and golden. Drain the fries so they're not greasy.

# Additional Tips:

01 - To cool things down, swap in a mild Cajun seasoning or skip some of the hot sauce.
02 - If you want a meat-free option, just skip the bacon or pick a vegan substitute.
03 - Lighten it up by baking fries and using low-fat ranch.
