Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon Extra salt (for seasoning chips)
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.
In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold the cooled caramelized onions into the mixture. Cover and refrigerate the onion dip for at least 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
Meanwhile, wash and peel the russet potatoes. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes very thinly (about 1/8 inch thickness).
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potato slices in small batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil. Drain them on a paper towel-lined plate, and immediately sprinkle with extra salt while hot.
Serve the chilled onion dip with the freshly fried chips. Enjoy!
