Equipment

  • 1 large baking sheet
  • 1 pot for boiling
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes About 2 lbs.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper Adjust for spice preference.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon About 4 slices.
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce Adjust for spice preference.
  • 1 clove garlic Minced.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin fries (around ¼ inch thick).
  • Place the cut fries in a pot of cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Spread the fries on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through cooking.
  • While the fries are baking, prepare the voodoo sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
  • Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions over the top.
  • Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the fries hot, drizzled with the voodoo sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

For a vegetarian version, you can omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or other vegetables as toppings.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce depending on your spice tolerance.
These fries can also be served as a side dish for grilling meats or as a fun game-day snack.
