Ingredients
Fries
- 4 large russet potatoes cut into fries or 1 bag frozen French fries
- Vegetable oil for frying if using fresh potatoes
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup warm cheese sauce
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
Optional Toppings
- ¼ cup cooked bacon bits
- 2 tbsp sliced jalapeños
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- ½ cup Cajun shrimp cooked or crispy chicken
Homemade Cajun Seasoning (Optional)
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Instructions
Prepare the Fries
- If using fresh potatoes, wash and cut them into fry shapes. Pat dry with paper towels.
Cook the Fries
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry potatoes until golden and crispy, about 5–7 minutes.
- Alternatively, bake frozen fries according to package instructions.
Season the Fries
- While the fries are still hot, sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over them.
Add Cheese
- Transfer fries to a serving plate or tray. Pour warm cheese sauce over the fries and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Add Ranch and Toppings
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the fries and add optional toppings like jalapeños, bacon bits, or green onions.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Russet potatoes produce the crispiest homemade fries.
- Double frying fresh potatoes makes them extra crunchy.
- Add toppings while the fries are hot so the cheese melts properly.
- For extra spice, add additional cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
