Homemade Potato Chips with Sriracha BBQ Sauce and Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese.
Well this is pretty much the only thing I want to eat on a Friday.
Total Friday food!!
If you eat an acai bowl for breakfast you can have alllll the chips that your little heart desires. Because I say so.
Hi balance.
This is sort of a copycat recipe… but.
I didn’t even try them myself – Eddie ate them a few weeks ago at Flipside before my book signing in Cleveland and truly won’t shut up about how good they were. He’s been asking me to recreate them (especially the BBQ sauce) and the minute I got home, I did. I was totally game. Obviously – homemade chips are right up my alley.
Over a year ago I made these sweet potato chips with homemade BBQ seasoning and could.not.get.enough.
But the blue cheese yogurt dressing? YESSSSS. And the sriracha BBQ sauce? Takes it over the top. Even me, who isn’t a heat or spice lover was super excited at the thought. I used my base recipe in Seriously Delish for vanilla bourbon BBQ sauce and went to town with the sriracha.
AND HERE’S THE THING. You don’t even need to do chips. I actually think this combo works just as well (maybe even better?!) on oven fries. I suggest using this recipe and getting the potatoes super crisp – then serving both dips on the side. Lower maintenance and no frying involved.
Making the homemade chips is totally worth it too though – find yourself a big pot and throw the thin slices in for a few minutes. Drench them in coarse sea salt while they’re still warm and it’s the ultimate indulgent perfection.
You should most definitely make them and have a beer for me.
Homemade Potato Chips with Sriracha BBQ Sauce and Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes, sliced thinly with a mandolin
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 quart vegetable oil
- sea salt for topping
- 3 tablespoons freshly snipped chives
sriracha BBQ sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup light beer or ginger ale
- ½ cup honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
greek yogurt blue cheese
- 6 ounces blue cheese
- 2/3 cup greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the sliced potatoes to a bowl and cover them with warm water. Stir in the vinegar. Let sit for 30 minutes. Remove the potatoes and place them on a towel, covering them with another towel on top. Press to absorb as much of the liquid you can. Continue to dry off the sliced potatoes with the towels while the oil heats.
- Heat a large pot of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 325 degrees F. Once the temperature is reached, add the potatoes in batches and fry until lightly golden and crisp, stirring with a wire spider, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with the spider or large slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain. Cover in sea salt!
- To serve, drizzle with the bbq sauce and blue cheese. Cover in a sprinkling of chives!
sriracha BBQ sauce
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan and whisk to combine. Heat oven medium heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Let sit at room temperature until it cools and thickens.
- Store in a jar or sealed container in the fridge.
greek yogurt blue cheese
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and stir until combined.

Oh these would also go down so well with a buffalo type of BBQ. You are right, it is all about balance (scales tipped this way)!

Holy cow! Forget eating healthy. I want to stuff my face with these all day long!
These are like the fanciest most amazing sounding nachos I have ever seen! WITH POTATO CHIPS! I would drink champagne and eat these, and win at life.
Homemade potato chips?! I need to get on this. Plus, that sauce is totally calling to me.
Ok, sriracha bbq sauce is a must try – consider it added to my list! This weekend I’m experimenting with making root veggie chips. Let’s hope I make it to the other side of this adventure without losing any fingers to my mandoline! :)
Last night I was reading your cookbook and noticed your homemade BBQ sauce recipe with bourbon and was thinking how amazing it sounded…and now I see this one with sriracha and beer! I want that sauce on everything!
Great looking chips and the blue cheese/greek yog idea! pinned
SRIRACHA BBQ SAUCE and GY BLUE CHEESE?
And there’s beer? Screw balance. This is breakfast. Fo realz.
Pinned!
ooooh, I totally want this for breakfast.
YES. Perfect weekend/football watching food.
I can see what’s about to happen…
Me + greek yogurt blue cheese sauce = Happiness!
Imagine that sauce over a nice piece of steak! Oh my goodness gracious! Hold me!
Mmmmmm yessss perfect friday night, movie food!! I’m so tempted to make this sauce, and add it to a brisket — heeeelllo beef brisket sandwiches – i die.
Well there goes my weekend diet
Just. Stop. Seriously? I’d eat those for breakfast right this second!
A potato chip mountain? Face plant. ‘Nuff said. Thanks for sharing!!
OMG these look to die for. They remind me of this dish I got while in Charleston, SC with blue cheese fondue!
OMG….you had me at homemade potato chips! Then the rest of this recipe is like GENIUS! YUM!
OMG, these look insane! I could go for a huge plate of them RIGHT NOW. This is the first chance I’ve had to look at the internet since having my baby last Saturday (he totally spoiled my plans of going to your Philly book signing! Hehe), and this was definitely a good place to start! Yum.
Come on, really? I need to make these immediately! I also really like the idea of just serving the sauces with home fries – like a delicious take on poutine!
Also, this is one of the best things I’ve ever read – “SERVES 4 APPROPRIATELY, 2 OBNOXIOUSLY” – I could probably just eat the whole thing myself, to be honest. :)
Perfect for a Friday night! Thanks x

Holy cow.
Are you kidding me? This looks to die for!
I want to shove my entire face in that plate. Looks amazing!
Oh good I just died.
I saw this in the epicurious magazine! I noticed you adapt a lot of recipes from bonappetit and epicurious. . . I prefer both as well over other food sites or magazines.
