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.

Homemade Potato Chips:

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.

Great for football watching
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this for a football tailgate and it was a hit! I served it with kettle chips because I didn't have time to make my... own - maybe next time. I may try to add some bufallo sauce to it next time and see how that does. Read more

awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sure is delicious! The major key is to use good creamy blue cheese. Dont use that hard crumbly stuff that comes in a... plastic container. This is so full of flavor. I just served kettle chips with it, but next time I may take the time to make my own chips. It came out a little thinner than Id like it. So next time I may add a little less milk to make it a thicker sauce. Overall this is an excellent recipe!Read more

Addictive
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used packaged kettle chips because it wasn't convenient to make my own. The sauce was "to die" for. I'm on my third round... with them for this holiday weekend.Read more
