Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash, peel, and slice the russet potatoes into uniform wedges. Pat dry to remove moisture.
  3. Toss the dried potato wedges with olive oil in a mixing bowl until lightly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled potato wedges and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake the fries for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the fries and return to oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
  9. Top with bacon, green onions, and jalapeños, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  10. Drizzle with ranch or voodoo sauce before serving hot.
