Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay

Ingredients
Blue Cheese Sauce:
2 1/4 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 pound crumbled blue cheese

Homemade Potato Chips, recipe follows, or good-quality store-bought potato
chips

Directions
Place the milk in a small saucepan and bring to a
simmer over low heat. Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add
the onion and cook until soft. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly
whisk in the warm milk, and continue whisking until thickened. Season with salt
and cayenne pepper. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove
from the heat and stir in the cheese. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a
little extra milk. Serve sauce warm with potato chips for dipping.

Ingredients
Homemade Potato Chips:

Directions

6 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced lengthwise
into 1/8-inch thick slices on a mandoline
2 quarts peanut oil
Salt

Place the potato slices on a baking sheet between layers of paper towels to make
sure they are very dry before frying.

Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan until the temperature of the oil reaches 400
degrees F on a deep-fat thermometer. Fry the potatoes in small batches until
golden brown on both sides, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on
a brown paper bag or another baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Season
with salt immediately. Serve hot with the blue cheese dipping sauce.
