Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Louisiana Voodoo Fries.

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into fries. Rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Fry the Potatoes

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Make the Voodoo Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.

Assemble the Fries

Place the crispy fries on a serving platter, drizzle with voodoo sauce, and top with chopped green onions, parsley, and feta cheese if desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy your Louisiana Voodoo Fries!

Tips for Perfect Fries

To achieve the perfect crispy texture, make sure to soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This step helps to remove excess starch, allowing the fries to become crispier when cooked. Additionally, frying in batches prevents overcrowding, ensuring each fry gets the heat it needs for that golden finish.

Using high-quality russet potatoes is key to making the best fries. They have a high starch content, which contributes to a fluffy interior and a crispy exterior. Be sure to choose firm potatoes free from any blemishes for the best results.

Serving Suggestions

Louisiana Voodoo Fries can be served alongside a variety of dishes, making them a versatile addition to your menu. Pair them with grilled meats, seafood, or even as a topping on burgers for a delightful surprise. The creamy voodoo sauce also serves as an excellent dip for other finger foods, enhancing their flavor.

For a complete meal, consider serving these fries with a refreshing salad or coleslaw to balance the richness of the sauce. A chilled beverage, like a classic Louisiana sweet tea or a spicy cocktail, will perfectly complement the zesty flavors of the fries.
