Homemade Potato Chips with Bleu Cheese and Chives
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Ingredients
4 Yukon gold potatoes, about 2 pounds
Peanut oil, for frying
Kosher salt
1 pound bleu cheese, finely crumbled
1 bunch chives, chopped

Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin 1/8-inch
slices using a mandolin or sharp knife. Rinse the slices in several changes of
water until the water runs clear. Drain them and pat them dry.

Put about 3 inches of oil into a large deep pot; it should not come up more than
half way. Bring the oil up to 325 degrees F over medium-high heat. Working in
batches, carefully add the potato slices, a dozen at a time. Stir them to make
sure they are not sticking together. Fry until they are a golden brown, about 3 to
4 minutes. Remove and drain them well on paper towels; season with salt. Repeat
with the remaining potato slices.

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a layer of the chips onto a baking dish and
sprinkle with some of the bleu cheese and chives. Place another layer of chips
onto that and some more cheese and chives. Continue until you have used up all the
chips and cheese. Put into the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5
minutes. Garnish with more chives.
