Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub the potatoes clean and slice them evenly into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
While the chips are baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and paprika, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the baked chips from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Arrange the chips on a serving platter and pour the warm cheese sauce generously over them.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately, enjoying the blend of crispy chips and gooey cheese.
