Blue Cheese Potato Chips Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of potato; it should sizzle immediately.

4. 4

   Fry the Potatoes

   Carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

5. 5

   Make the Blue Cheese Sauce

   In a mixing bowl, combine blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the hot potato chips with the blue cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
