Ingredients
  

  • For the Fries:
  • 4 large russet potatoes cut into thick fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • For the Toppings:
  • 6 –8 slices bacon cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • For the Creamy Cajun Sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 –2 tablespoons milk to thin if needed
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Potatoes
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into thick fries. Pat them completely dry using paper towels.
  3. Season the Fries
  4. Place the fries in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Bake
  6. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Make the Cajun Sauce
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency and seasoning as needed. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  9. Prepare the Toppings
  10. Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  11. Assemble the Fries
  12. Transfer the hot fries to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chopped bacon, drizzle generously with the creamy Cajun sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
  13. Serve
  14. Serve immediately while the fries are hot and crispy.

Notes

Dry the potatoes well before baking for extra crispy fries.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese for cheesy Voodoo fries.
Adjust the Cajun seasoning to control the spice level.
Store leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
