16 pounds Idaho French fries, cross cut
Gorgonzola sauce (see below)
3/4 ounce Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped chives
1 teaspoon cracked pepper

Gorgonzola Sauce:
6 pounds whole butter
1 1/2 pounds flour
2 gallons whipping cream
12 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Potatoes: Deep fry French fries at 350 degrees F to 360 degrees F until very crisp. Place 10 ounces of cooked and drained fries (approximately 16 ounces uncooked) on a serving plate and drizzle with 3 ounces of Gorgonzola sauce. Garnish with 3/4 ounce of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, 1 teaspoon of cracked pepper and chives. Serve immediately. (Sauce can be served on the side.)

Gorgonzola Sauce: Melt butter slowly in a large saucepan. Gradually whisk in flour to make a roux. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes over low heat. Whisk in cream, blending until roux is incorporated into the cream. Heat to 170 degrees F.

Combine 1 quart of sauce with 12 ounces of Gorgonzola cheese, reserving remaining sauce. (Remaining sauce should be chilled in ice bath, then refrigerated for later use.) Blend together and heat to 170 degrees F. Keep sauce warm until ready for use.
