Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for extra heat
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup crumbled bacon
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin fries. Rinse them well in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Coat the Fries: In a large bowl, combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Dip the potato fries into the buttermilk, then dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Fry the Fries: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated fries in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  4. Top the Fries: While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced jalapeños, and chopped green onions.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately while the cheese is melted and gooey. Optionally, drizzle with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add hot sauce to the fries before serving.
  • For a lighter version, you can bake the fries instead of frying them, though they won’t be as crispy.
  • You can make the fries ahead of time and reheat them in the oven to melt the cheese again.
