8 ounces your favorite blue cheese, such as gorgonzola or buttermilk blue (or a combination of your favorites), crumbled
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Kosher salt
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
5 fresh chives, snipped, optional
Lola Chips with Rosemary, recipe follows
Canola oil, for deep frying
2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
2 or 3 cloves garlic, smashed, optional
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the cheese and cornstarch. Toss to coat. Set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, shallots, and rosemary. Season with a pinch of salt and cook until the shallot and garlic soften slightly, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer, about 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, pepper and cayenne pepper. When the cream mixture begins to bubble, remove from the heat and strain over the blue cheese, whisking to incorporate. Remove from the heat and stir in the chives if using. Serve in a fondue pot next to a big pile of Lola Chips with Rosemary.
