Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 4 large russet potatoes
- Vegetable oil (for frying, enough to submerge fries)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Cajun seasoning (homemade or store-bought, about 1-2 tbsp)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Optional: shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese (for topping)
- Optional: chopped green onions (for garnish)
Seasoned Mayonnaise
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thick fries or wedges, making sure all pieces are evenly sized for even cooking.
- Soak the Potatoes: Submerge the cut fries in cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispy texture.
- Make the Seasoned Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly and set aside for serving.
- Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large pot or deep fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the fries during frying.
- Fry the Potatoes: Drain the fries from the water and pat them dry completely. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes each or until golden brown and crispy.
- Season the Fries: Remove fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle generously with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
- Prepare for Serving: Transfer fries to a serving bowl. If using, add shredded cheese on top so it melts slightly from the heat of the fries.
- Add the Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and optional green onions over the fries for extra color and flavor.
- Serve: Drizzle the seasoned mayonnaise over the fries or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Enjoy your Louisiana Voodoo Fries!
Notes
- Soaking potatoes is essential for crispy fries; do not skip this step.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for even cooking without greasy fries.
- Experiment with additional spices like cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- These fries can be baked or air fried as a healthier alternative; bake at 425°F for 30-35 minutes.
- Mayonnaise sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to a few days.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for crispiness.
- Check seasoning blends for gluten if needed; recipe ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
