Here is a great way to make a cross between the “Top the Tater” and “French Onion” chip dips you can buy in the store, however as they are homemade they taste way better.
This recipe is one I have been playing with a little lately and is very tasty. Feel free to change the ratios if you want more onion or chive, you can also add green onions or substitute them for the chives. You may also add some chipotle powder, cayenne, paprika, or any other seasoning that you want.
Here is the recipe that I use;
French Onions:
2 cups of yellow onion diced
1 tbs of butter
Pinch of Salt
¼ tsp of sugar
Melt the butter in a medium or small non stick frying pan, add the onions. Under medium low or low heat fry the onions with a cover on for 15 minutes. Stir every once in a while to keep them from burning on the bottom. Remove the cover and add the pinch of salt, fry for another 10 minutes. Add the sugar by sprinkling over the top and continue to fry for about 15 minutes or longer until the onions are a nice brown color. Put the onions in a bowl and place them in the fridge to cool down (about 40 degrees or cooler so they don’t cause problems when mixed with the other ingredients).
Dip:
French Onions from above
1-1/2 cups of sour cream
3 tbs of diced chives
¼ tsp of lemon (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with a rubber spatula. Taste and feel free to add other spices or other ingredients as you like. Enjoy. It should last in the refrigerator for a good amount of time, but I find it gets eaten in a few days or a week. Very tasty.
