how to serve Louisiana Voodoo Fries

Serve Louisiana Voodoo Fries hot and fresh straight from the oven. They are delicious on their own or as a side with your favorite dipping sauces, like ranch or blue cheese dressing. Feel free to sprinkle some extra cayenne on top for an added kick!

how to store Louisiana Voodoo Fries

If you have any leftover fries, let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving them as that may make them soggy.

tips to make Louisiana Voodoo Fries

Be sure to spread the fries out on the baking sheet or air fryer basket. This allows them to cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
Adjust the amount of cayenne powder based on your spice preference. If you like it milder, you can use less.
Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor.

3. Can I make the cheese sauce ahead of time?
