Y’all, let me tell you about this absolutely divine midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds dance like it’s Mardi Gras! As a Louisiana girl who’s spent countless nights craving something absolutely scrumptious, I’ve perfected what I call the “Midnight Cajun Cheese Fries with Crawfish Étouffée Sauce” – honey, it’s worth staying up for!
Listen up, because this recipe is about to change your late-night snacking game forever. Trust me, your midnight cravings will never be the same!
What You’ll Need:
– 2 large russet potatoes
– 1/2 pound crawfish tail meat
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Cajun seasoning (don’t be shy with it!)
– Sharp cheddar cheese
– Green onions for garnish
Let me walk you through this magic, sugar:
1. First, cut those potatoes into wedges (thick ones, we ain’t playing around here). Toss them with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of Cajun seasoning.
1. Bake those babies at 425°F for about 25 minutes until they’re golden and crispy. And honey, don’t you dare flip them too early – patience is key!

1. While your fries are getting all crispy and delicious, let’s make that étouffée sauce. Melt that butter in a pan and sauté your onions until they’re transparent (just like my ex’s excuses, but I digress 😉).
1. Add garlic, crawfish, and cream. Let it simmer until it thickens up – kind of like how thick the humidity is down here in July!
1. Once your fries are done, shower them with cheese and pop them back in the oven just until it melts.
1. Pour that heavenly étouffée sauce all over your cheesy fries and sprinkle with green onions.
