Ingredients

– ½ cup vegetable oil for frying
– 1 cup shredded cooked chicken or beef (cajun style)

Instructions
Get ready to create your Louisiana Voodoo Fries with these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized fries.
2. Soak the Fries: Place the cut fries into a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes them extra crispy.
3. Dry the Fries: After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean towel. Remove as much moisture as possible for optimal frying.
4. Heat the Oil: In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure it’s hot enough before adding the fries.
5. Fry the Potatoes: Carefully add the fries in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Prepare the Voodoo Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, and hot sauce. Adjust to taste.
8. Assemble the Fries: On a large serving tray, lay out the fries in a single layer. Evenly distribute the shredded cooked chicken or beef over the fries.
9. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously over the hot fries, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat.
10. Finish with Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the Voodoo sauce over the top, and then finish with sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
