Bistro Chips
- 2 cups Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 cup Sugar
- 4 whole Potatoes (any Kind You Like That You Would Use For Baking...one Large Potato Per Person)
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil
- 1 pinch Salt To Season
- 1 cup Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese (you Can Use More Or Less Depending On Your Tastes)
- First, you want to get the balsamic glaze started because you want it to cook the longest.
- BALSAMIC GLAZE 1.
- Pour the balsamic vinegar and sugar into a small pot.
- 2.
- Put the stove on low heat and keep stirring occasionally, making sure the sugar dissolves and doesnt stick to the bottom and burn.
- 3.
- Keep simmering on low heat for as long as you can so that the mixture reduces and thickens enough that it still coats a spoon after you put a spoon in and out of it.
- It should stay on reducing (with you occasionally stirring) for at least 30 minutes, but the longer the better (Ive gone as long as two hours!
- ).
- Now onto the chips!
- OVEN-BAKED CHIPS
- 1.
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
- 2.
- Wash potatoes.
- 3.
- Cut potatoes into thin slices crosswise, making thin chip-like circles.
- 4.
- Coat both sides of each potato slice with olive oil.
- 5.
- Place the potato slices on a baking sheet.
- 6.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, with a careful eye towards the end so that they do not burn.
- 7.
- If you choose to, sprinkle them lightly with salt as soon as you take them out of the oven
- PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
- After letting them cool for a bit, stack the chips you made onto a plate.
- Then, sprinkle the Gorgonzola cheese all on them.
- Add as much or as little as you like (Im from the school of more is better!
- ).
- Then, put the plate in the microwave or oven for only 30 seconds or so just to melt the cheese a tiny bit (DO NOT MELT THE CHEESE COMPLETELY!
- just a tiny bit to soften them up!
- ).
- Finally, you top it all off by pouring on the delicious reduced balsamic glaze.
- Im telling you, you will love this!
