Prepare to experience unparalleled flavor with these simple steps to make your Louisiana Voodoo Fries:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries or wedges, depending on your preference.
3. Soak the Potatoes (Optional): For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
4. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
5. Spread on Baking Sheet: Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake: Place the fries in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
7. Add Cheese: Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
8. Return to Oven: Place them back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish: Once out of the oven, top the fries with sliced green onions for a fresh touch.
10. Serve: Pair with optional sour cream and hot sauce to create the perfect dipping experience.

Following these steps, you’ll soon have a basket filled with Louisiana Voodoo Fries that are irresistible and deeply satisfying!
