Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb frozen French fries (or homemade fries)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (if baking the fries)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fries
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake according to package instructions or until crispy.
- Air Fryer Method: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook fries for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Deep Frying Method: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry potatoes until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 2: Season the Fries
- In a small bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Toss hot fries in the seasoning mix immediately after cooking.
Step 3: Add the Toppings
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over hot fries and drizzle with warm nacho cheese sauce.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the top.
- Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately while hot and melty. Pair with extra ranch or hot sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Variations: Use curly fries, waffle fries, or sweet potato fries for a twist.
- Spicy Version: Increase cayenne pepper or add hot sauce.
- Cheese Options: Try Monterey Jack or pepper jack for variety.
- Loaded Voodoo Fries: Add bacon bits or jalapeños.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
