Louisiana Voodoo Fries is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch dish featuring crispy French fries smothered in rich brown gravy, melted mozzarella cheese, and seasoned with Cajun spices. Topped with fresh green onions, this flavorful comfort food combines Southern influences with a cheesy, savory twist.

Ingredients

Fries Base

  • 1 lb frozen French fries

Gravy & Toppings

  • 1 cup prepared brown gravy
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet and cook them in the oven until they are golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  2. Heat the Gravy: While the fries are cooking, warm the prepared brown gravy in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s hot and simmering, stirring occasionally.
  3. Assemble the Fries: Once the fries are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the hot gravy evenly over the fries, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top so it can start to melt from the heat.
  4. Season and Garnish: Sprinkle Cajun seasoning and garlic powder over the loaded fries for a flavorful kick. Finally, garnish with freshly sliced green onions before serving to add a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

  • Use homemade brown gravy if preferred for a richer flavor.
  • You can customize the cheese variety to your liking, such as cheddar or a blend for different taste profiles.
  • For extra crispiness, spread fries in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning to your heat preference; add more for a spicier dish.
  • These fries are best enjoyed immediately to experience the perfect combination of crispy fries and melty cheese.
