Gorgonzola Chips
- 2 pounds Russet Potatoes
- Canola Oil, For Frying
- Salt To Taste
- 4 ounces, weight Gorgonzola Cheese
- Peel potatoes and slice into very thin chips with a mandoline.
- Place in a large bowl and cover with cold water.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, changing water twice.
- Heat your oil-filled deep fryer (or an inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan) to high heat, approximately 375-400 degrees F. Also, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and set out a baking sheet by the fryer.
- Lay out a couple of clean dish towels, add a layer of paper towels, and pull a portion of the potatoes out of the cold water (keep the ones you are not using in the water to prevent them from browning) and spread in a single layer over the towels.
- Using more towels, pat the potatoes to remove as much water as possible.
- Submerge your frying basket in the fryer and gently add the potato slices.
- Work on drying the next batch of potatoes while the first batch fries; keep a close eye on your fryer.
- Remove golden brown potato chips with the basket, allow chips to drain (let them sit on paper towels first if using a frying pan) and then spread them onto the baking sheet.
- Put cooked chips in the oven to keep warm.
- Repeat until all chips are fried.
- Once you have all of the chips on the baking tray, turn oven to broil.
- Sprinkle chips with salt to taste and evenly spread with gorgonzola.
- Place pan 2-3 inches beneath the broiler for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Watch closely, the chips will burn quickly!
