One of Annie's great Urban Girl finds is the Gathering of Friends series of cookbooks.  The one we're featuring in the store currently is Volume II. 

These books were written by Michelle Huxtable, an interior designer in Utah.  She, along with her six children, created this collection of recipes, shopping lists, and decorating tips.  Gorgeous photographs!  We've picked  our favorite recipe to share with you: Bleu Cheese Potato Chips.  (If someone could whp these up and bring them to the store right now, that'd be great!)

BLEU CHEESE POTATO CHIPS

6 med. size potatoes

1 qt. vegetable oil

1/2 c. dry Parmesan cheese

1/2 c. crumbled Bleu cheese

1 tsp. Kosher salt

In large soup pot, heat oil on high until a potato slice pops quickly in oil.  Slice potatoes with a peeler in very thin slices.  Combine salt, Parmesan cheese and Bleu cheese tgether in a bowl to create cheese seasoning mix.  Drop handfuls of potato slices in hot oil and quickly fry chips.  Stir gently to separate chips.  Remove from oil, spread in a paper towel lined baking tray.  Sprinkle with cheese seasoning mix.  Repeat until all potatoes are cooked.  Serve immediately or keep in a warm 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
