Cathy isn't one for sweets; so for her birthday I attempted a salty treat for her instead :)

I didn't really follow the exact measurements for the cheese mixture. I went by taste to see if it's overpowering but enough to cover the amount of chips I wanted to make. I also didn't feel like digging out the fryer; so I used a frying pan with a thin layer of oil. My first batch was extremely soggy, but the taste was good; so I knew I had the coating down. (I also added a dash of garlic salt). I'm not 100% pleased with these ... so I do plan to try again. But the 2nd time will be with a different kind of equipment that requires minimum oil. So we'll see :D
