Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt to taste
- Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice potatoes. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry thoroughly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry potato slices in batches for 2–3 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Remove chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt immediately.
- To make the cheese sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in cream and cook until it begins to thicken, about 3–5 minutes.
- Stir in Gorgonzola cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm chips with Gorgonzola cheese sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature for even frying.
- For a milder sauce, mix in a little cream cheese or mascarpone with Gorgonzola.
- Top with chopped chives or crispy bacon for added flair.
