Homemade Potato Chips with caramelized onion and gorgonzola dip

• 2 medium Yukon potatoes – washed

Strain and pat potatoes dry with cloth, carefully place potatoes in hot oil until golden and crisp. Place fried potatoes on paper towel to soak up some of the grease and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
