Truffle Chips with Blue Cheese

Sometimes there are restaurant dishes that you just can’t forget and want to have again.  That is exactly what happened when we ordered Truffle Chips with Blue Cheese in a restaurant in Charlotte, NC.  The best part is my husband dislikes blue cheese but absolutely loved it when served with the truffle chips.  I have been trying to recreate this marvelous appetizer and I think I finally found a way to create the dish.  I baked the chips in the 400 degree oven until golden brown  The secret is to spray white truffle oil over the hot chips, the spray gives just the right amount of truffle flavor to the chips. I also used a fresh blue cheese dressing from the refrigerated section of the grocery with large chunks of blue cheese throughout.  These are so easy to make and so hard to eat just one!  These chips are now one of our favorites. 

You can find white truffle oil in the oil section of many markets or you can purchase on Amazon 

 

Truffle Chips with Blue Cheese

Ingredients

  • 2 yukon gold potatoes
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • white truffle oil, spray bottle
  • blue cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line two baking sheets with parchment.  Slice potatoes extremely thin, I used my mandoline slicer.  Place potato slices in a bowl and toss with olive oil.  Place chips in a single layer on the parchment lined sheets.  Bake chips for approx. 25 minutes, watch closely, you want the chips to be golden brown.  Remove chips from the oven and immediately sprinkle with salt and spritz with the white truffle oil.  Remove chips to a rack, they crisp while they cool.  Serve with blue cheese dressing.
