Sweet Potato and Blue Cheese Dip

Charlotte, North Carolina’s Supperland—one of our 10 Best New Restaurants of 2022—is a “Southern steakhouse meets church potluck,” so chef Chris Rogiensk felt it was only fitting to include a dip that would please just about everyone. He uses local sweet potatoes along with blue cheese to make a creamy dip that tastes something like a Southern spin on queso. At the restaurant they use prime rib scraps to make a crispy crackling dip topper, but toasted spiced walnuts or pecans can add similar crunch.

Bake the sweet potatoes up to several days in advance and blend just before you plan to serve the dip, alongside plenty of potato chips for the ultimate luscious bite.
