Ingredients

Fries and Seasoning

  • 28-32 ounces frozen French fries
  • 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 cups medium cheddar cheese, freshly shredded

Finishing

  • 4 Tablespoons ranch dressing (plus more for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your frozen fries package. Line two baking sheets with foil and lightly spray them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Seasonings and Coat Fries: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lay the frozen fries evenly across the two prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fries evenly, reserving about ½ teaspoon for garnish later. Toss lightly to coat and arrange fries in a single layer for even baking.
  3. Bake the Fries: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake the fries following the package directions. Rotate the pans midway if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispness.
  4. Make the Cheese Sauce: While the fries are baking, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Add Milk and Thicken Sauce: Gradually whisk in the milk until fully combined, and continue cooking for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Incorporate Cheese: Slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to melt completely before adding more.
  7. Keep Sauce Warm: Lower the heat to the lowest setting to keep the cheese sauce warm without cooking it further. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more milk to adjust the consistency. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so keep it warm before serving.
  8. Assemble the Voodoo Fries: Plate about a quarter of the baked fries on a dish. Top with approximately ¼ cup of the warm cheese sauce, then drizzle around one tablespoon of ranch dressing over the top. Sprinkle some of the reserved seasoning blend for an extra punch of flavor.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Repeat the assembly process for remaining fries as desired and serve immediately. Offer extra cheese sauce, ranch dressing, and ketchup on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For crispier fries, ensure they are spread out evenly in a single layer on the baking sheets.
  • The cheese sauce can be adjusted to your preferred consistency by adding more or less milk.
  • Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melting and flavor results.
  • Reserve some seasoning to sprinkle on top enhances the flavor and presentation.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy fries at their crispiest and cheese sauce at its creamiest.
