Fries
Seasoning
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (such as Louisiana hot sauce)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Bake the fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and golden, turning halfway through for even cooking.
- Season the fries: Once the fries are baked, transfer them to a large bowl and sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning. Toss well to coat all fries evenly with the seasoning.
- Add the cheese: Place the seasoned fries back on the baking sheet and evenly sprinkle both shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Serve: Remove the cheesy fries from the oven and drizzle the prepared spicy sauce over the top. Serve immediately while hot and gooey for a delicious savory treat.
Notes
- For extra crunch, use shoestring fries or waffle fries.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Try adding chopped green onions or fresh parsley as a garnish for added freshness.
- If you prefer a dipping sauce on the side, serve the spicy mayo separately.
- This recipe can be made with homemade fries if preferred; just adjust cooking time accordingly.
