There is a restaurant back home that has bleu cheese chips on their menu and I love them! I love bleu cheese a lot so this is an amazing combination. I haven't been able to find anything like it here :( So I tried to make my own. Its not the same but they came out pretty darn good.
I sliced my potato's on my mandolin. If you don't have one just slice as thin as possible. I heated my oil on med high heat and did small batches so the temperature of the oil didn't drop.
Crispy! I salted them as soon as they came out of the oil.
For the sauce I melted some butter and added some onions. Cook the onions for about 5 minutes.
Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the mild and reduce the sauce until thick. Take off the heat and add bleu cheese, salt, and cayenne pepper to your liking.
Yum!
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/2 pound blue cheese such as Maytag Blue, crumbled (2 cups)
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring, about 7 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook over moderate heat, whisking, until thickened, 5 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the blue cheese and season with salt and cayenne.
