Author Amye Melton

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes scrubbed
  • peanut oil for frying
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup prepared Alfredo sauce
  • 6 ounces blue cheese crumbles plus more to spinkle over the top
  • 1/4 cup Ranch dressing
  • 4 strips bacon fried crisp, drained and chopped
  • 3 green onions green part only, chopped
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Slice scrubbed potatoes thin. Soak in ice water for about 10 minutes. Drain and dry well.
  • Heat oil to 350℉ - 375℉.
  • While oil is heating, pour 1 cup alfredo sauce in a saucepan. Heat to boiling then reduce to a simmer. Add 6-ounces blue cheese crumbles and 1/4 cup Ranch dressing. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and allow to rest.
  • In another saucepan combine vinegar and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer annd stir occasionally. Make a slurry by adding 1 teaspoon water to the cornstarch. Add to the balsamic mixture and stir. (You need this to be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If 1 tablespoon cornstarch isn't enough, make up a little more.). Set aside.
  • Fry potatoes to desired crispness. Drain well on paper-towel lined pans. Salt to taste.
  • Place chips on a serving plate. Drizzle chips with blue cheese sauce, then drizzle with some balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with bacon, blue cheese crumbles and green onions. Serve while chips are still warm.
