how to store Louisiana Voodoo Fries

If you have leftover fries, allow them to cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for about 2-3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven or air fryer until heated through and crispy again.

tips to make Louisiana Voodoo Fries

For extra crispiness, try roasting the fries in the oven or air fryer without any cheese sauce initially.
Adjust the amount of cayenne powder based on how spicy you like it.
Experiment with different types of cheese if you want to switch things up. Pepper jack cheese can add some extra heat!

variation

You can make a vegetarian version of these fries by skipping any meat toppings and sticking with just the cheese sauce. If you want a more loaded version, add toppings like crispy bacon bits, jalapeños, or even pulled pork.
