Ingredients

Blue Cheese Sauce
• 4 slices crispy bacon crumbled (Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes and save 1 tsp bacon fat)
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1 Tb butter
• 1 Tb bacon fat
• 3/4 cup full fat sour cream
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 Tb worcestershire
• 1 Tb fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese plus more for garnish
• chopped scallions to garnish
Chips
• Baking potato (peeled and sliced thin)
• Canola oil
• Kosher Salt

Instructions

For the Sauce
1. Bake bacon on a rimmed cookie sheet at 400 until crispy, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 tsp of bacon fat and put in a frying pan. Saute garlic cloves in bacon fat and butter on medium heat until lightly caramelized, about 2 minutes.
2. Add in the rest of the ingredients. Blue cheese will start to melt into the dressing. Top onto chips with additional blue cheese, bacon and scallions to garnish.
For the Chips
3. Peel a baking potato and slice thin on a mandolin. Soak sliced potato pieces in cold water for 15 minutes and then dry off with paper towels. This will rub off some of the starch so they crisp up easier. (Soaking isn't necessary, but I like the results better that way).
4. Heat up about 2-3 inches of oil in a large frying pan or dutch oven on medium high heat. When oil sizzles just a bit, (test it out with one chip) add chips in batches. Turn over when browned on one side.
5. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt.
