Instructions

Bake Fries, Start Gravy: Preheat oven per fry package instructions. Bake high-quality frozen French fries until golden and crispy. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan, then whisk in flour to create a smooth roux, cooking for one minute.
Whisk Gravy Base: Gradually whisk chicken broth into the roux until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. Stir in the heavy cream next. This forms the creamy base for your delicious Louisiana Voodoo Fries gravy.
Season Gravy: Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the gravy. Simmer gently, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Crispy Fries: Continue baking the French fries, flipping halfway through, until they are perfectly golden brown and crispy. This crispiness is crucial for the best Louisiana Voodoo Fries experience, preventing sogginess.
Prepare Toppings: While fries bake and gravy simmers, shred cheddar cheese and chop green onions. Have your ranch dressing ready. These fresh toppings will elevate your homemade Louisiana Voodoo Fries.
Assemble Voodoo Fries: Once fries are ready, transfer them to a serving dish. Generously pour the warm, savory gravy over the crispy fries. Sprinkle evenly with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt slightly.
Finish & Serve: Drizzle ranch dressing over the cheesy fries, then garnish with chopped green onions. Serve your incredible Louisiana Voodoo Fries (Wingstop Copycat) immediately to enjoy them at their best.

Notes

Gradually whisk chicken broth into the roux to prevent lumps and ensure a perfectly smooth, delicious gravy for your fries.

Store leftover Voodoo Fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but expect them to soften.

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring your chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce are also GF.

Serve these incredible Voodoo Fries immediately after assembly to enjoy them hot, crispy, and at their absolute best.

Prepare the gravy up to three days ahead and chop green onions a day prior for quick assembly before serving.
