HOT POTATO CHIPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
Steps:
- 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.
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for BBQ chips because they are dense and have a high starch content, which makes them crispy when fried.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove the starch and prevent the chips from sticking together.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Fry the potatoes in hot oil: This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
- Drain the potatoes on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil.
- Toss the potatoes with BBQ sauce: Use a store-bought BBQ sauce or make your own.
- Bake the potatoes in the oven: This will help to crisp them up and caramelize the BBQ sauce.
- Serve the chips with blue cheese dip: This is a classic pairing that is always a crowd-pleaser.
