Notes
- For extra crispiness, double fry the potatoes or air-fry them.
- Spice level: Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste. Add hot sauce for extra heat.
- Cheese options: Swap cheddar for pepper jack or a Mexican cheese blend for a twist.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven.
