# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Clean and strip the potato skins. Slice them into skinny fries about ¼ inch wide.
03 -
Drop the cut fries in a pot with cold water and throw in 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it come to a boil and cook them for 5 minutes. Drain well and dry them off.
04 -
Lay the fries flat on a big baking tray. Add a splash of olive oil and dust with paprika, cayenne, and black pepper. Mix them up so they're all coated.
05 -
Pop them in the hot oven for 20 minutes until they're golden and crunchy, flipping them over halfway.
06 -
In a bowl, stir together sour cream, mayo, hot sauce, and crushed garlic until it's all smooth.
07 -
When fries are done, take them out and scatter cheese, bacon pieces, and green onions on top.
08 -
Put the tray back in the oven for 5 more minutes until the cheese gets all bubbly and melted.
09 -
Serve while they're hot with the voodoo sauce drizzled over. Dig in!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Want it veggie-friendly? Skip the bacon and toss on some cooked mushrooms or other veggies instead.
02 -
You can make it milder or spicier by changing how much cayenne and hot sauce you use.
03 -
These work great as a side with grilled meats or as a snack while watching sports.
