Recipe(tried): Potato Chips with Blue Cheese

I enjoyed this appetizer at a restaurant with my cousins while visiting them in Michigan. This yummy version comes from Food and Wine magazine. I used Poore Brothers chips, I think the ones at the restaurant were restaurant-made.

POTATO CHIPS WITH BLUE CHEESE

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/2 pound blue cheese such as Maytag Blue, crumbled (2 cups)
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 6-ounce bag thick-cut potato chips

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring, about 7 minutes.

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook over moderate heat, whisking, until thickened, 5 minutes.

Off the heat, whisk in the blue cheese and season with salt and cayenne.

Put half of the potato chips in a large shallow bowl and drizzle with half of the blue cheese sauce. Add the remaining chips and sauce to make another layer. Serve right away.

Servings: 4-6
