Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (24 oz) frozen crinkle-cut or shoestring fries
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, or 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 2-3 tablespoons hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco, Frank’s RedHot, or Louisiana-style hot sauce)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeño slices (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Fries: Preheat your oven or air fryer according to package directions for the frozen fries. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt immediately after cooking.
  2. Prepare the Voodoo Sauce: While the fries cook, in a small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing and hot sauce until well combined. Adjust hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
  3. Assemble the First Layer: Transfer the cooked fries to an oven-safe serving platter or baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese (if using). If using nacho cheese sauce, drizzle it over the hot fries.
  4. Melt the Cheese (if using shredded): If using shredded cheese, place the platter under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or microwave for 30-60 seconds, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the prepared voodoo sauce generously over the cheesy fries. Garnish with sliced green onions, crumbled bacon, and pickled jalapeños, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the magic!

Notes

For an extra kick, try adding a pinch of Cajun seasoning to your fries before serving, or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the voodoo sauce for added depth. You can also experiment with different cheeses like Pepper Jack for more spice.
