French Fries

• Russet Potatoes:are high in starch, which makes them perfect for getting crispy in the oven while staying fluffy in the middle.
• Olive Oil:is the key ingredient that helps the seasoning stick to your fries and prevents the potatoes from sticking to the pan when baking.
• Garlic Powder:brings a pungent and robust flavor.
• Onion Powder:is both sweet and savory, making it a perfect addition to the other seasonings.
• Smoked Paprika:adds a delicious, smoky flavor to the blend of spices
• Cayenne Pepper:brings in the heat. You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference or omit it if you don't like spicy foods.
• Oregano:brings a subtle earthy flavor to the mix
• Salt & Black Pepper:enhance the delicious flavors.

Cheese Sauce

• Butter:adds to the rich flavor and helps make the sauce creamy.
• All-Purpose Flour:is used for thickening your cheese sauce.
• Milk:is used to thin the sauce out. If your cheese sauce is too thick, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
• Salt:enhances all the delicious flavors of this recipe.
• Cayenne Pepper:brings some spice and heat to your cheese. You can adjust the heat according to your preference by adding more or less.
• White Cheddar:has a sharp taste that pairs well with the other ingredients. I recommend grating your cheddar cheese yourself because pre-shredded cheese has an ingredient that stops it from melting easily.

Toppings

• Ranch:you can use your favorite store-bought ranch or make your own at home. Buttermilk ranch compliments the cajun fries and the cheese sauce.
• Fresh Parsley:adds a bit of color and is a great garnish.

How to Make Copycat Wingstop Voodoo Fries

Scroll down to the recipe card at the end of this post for the full step-by-step instructions.

1. Preheat your oven and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Cut the potatoes into fries and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the fries are evenly coated.
3. In a small mixing bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. This will be the cajun seasoning that we will season our fries with.
4. Sprinkle half the seasoning mix over the fries, ensuring they are evenly coated. Toss the fries again to distribute the seasoning.
5. Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded. Crowding can lead to uneven cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to shake them halfway through for even baking.

Note: You can alternatively air fry your fries or fry them in an actual deep fryer. This will all depend on your personal preference.

How to Make the Wingstop Cheese Sauce

I recommend making your cheese sauce while the fries are in the oven.

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add in the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper and stir to combine.
2. Slowly add in the milk while stirring constantly. Keep adding the milk in and stirring until no lumps appear in the sauce and it slowly starts to thicken.
3. Remove from the heat and, add in the shredded cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted and combined with the sauce.
4. Sprinkle the fried with more Cajun seasoning, then serve with a generous drizzle of your favorite ranch and cheese sauce. Top with herbs like parsley or chives, and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Should I Soak My Potatoes?

It's entirely up to you whether or not you want to soak your potatoes in cold water before baking them as fries. Soaking the potatoes helps to remove the excess starch, which results in crispier fries.

However, it's important to remember that oil and water don't mix, so if you decide to soak your fries, thoroughly dry them before adding olive oil and spices.

What Should I Serve with My Wingstop Voodoo Fries?

You can serve your fries with burgers, wings, steak, and the list goes on! You can also enjoy them as a midday snack or an appetizer. They’re great to serve at get-togethers and game day parties.

Can I Use a Different Kind of Oil?

While I like to use olive oil for this recipe, you can substitute olive oil for vegetable or canola oil. I think the olive oil adds just a bit of flavor that the other two do not. Be sure to use only a little oil, or your fries will become soggy.

Can I Make Wingstop’s Voodoo Cajun Seasoning in Advance?

Of course! You can make this seasoning blend a few days before and keep it in an airtight container until you’re ready to use it. You can also make a big batch and add this seasoning to some of your other favorite foods! It goes great on tater tots, potato wedges, and even chicken wings!

Can I Use a Different Kind of Cheese or Toppings?

Yes! Most types of cheese work well with this recipe. You can use mozzarella if you prefer a milder flavor, Pepper Jack if you want a bit of extra spice, or smoked Gouda for a unique twist. For added flavor and texture, you can also top it with green onions, bacon bits, diced tomatoes, or jalapenos.

How Can I Spice this Recipe Up?

It's easy to add some extra spice to this recipe! You can increase the amount of cayenne pepper or include some diced jalapenos or chili powder in your cheese sauce. Another option is to make a spicy dip by adding a little buffalo sauce or your preferred hot sauce.

What are the Best Toppings for Wingstop’s Voodoo Fries?

How Do I Store Leftover Voodoo fries?

These fries taste the best when they are fresh out of the oven, but you can store them for later. Just place them in an airtight container or wrap them in aluminum foil and keep them in the fridge for up to two days. When you want to eat them again, reheat them in the oven until they are warm all the way through.
