Chips

Method

Chips Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline for uniform thickness.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato slices in batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and sugar to taste.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Layer the Chips

    On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange a generous layer of the fried chips.

  2. 5

    Add Chili

    Spoon the warm chili evenly over the chips, ensuring that each chip gets a good amount.

  3. 6

    Sprinkle Cheese

    Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over the chili, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the chili.

  4. 7

    Top with Jalapeños

    Add the sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese for an extra kick.

  5. 8

    Add Sour Cream and Blue Cheese

    Dollop sour cream generously on top, then drizzle blue cheese dressing over everything.

  6. 9

    Finish with Scallions

    Garnish with chopped scallions for a fresh crunch.

  7. 10

    Add Optional Protein

    If desired, add pulled pork or chicken on top for an additional protein boost.
