French Onion Dip with Ridged Potato Chips
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion about 1 large onion
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives for garnish
- Ridged potato chips for serving
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until foaming.
- Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft and deep golden at the edges.
- Scrape the onions onto a plate and let them cool for 5 minutes so they do not melt the sour cream.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Fold in the cooled onions, then taste and add more salt if the dip needs it.
- Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, until the flavors pull together and the dip firms up enough to hold a chip.
- Spoon into a small bowl, scatter the chives over the top, and set it into the board next to the ridged potato chips.
Good to Know
