POTATO CHIPS WITH FRENCH ONION DIP
What could be better than homemade potato chips? If you're used to snacking from a bag, eating these crunchy, kettle-style treats will be like tasting potato chips for the first time. They're great with Michael Ruhlman's creamy French onion dip. (His secret for perfectly caramelized onions? A little butter and a lot of patience!)

Steps:
- French Onion Dip: To dice onions, trim the top and bottom, slice in half lengthwise, and discard skin. Lay the flat sides down and make vertical cuts, just short of the root to keep the onion intact. Stand the onion up and make several slices perpendicular to your first cuts, creating a grid that will result in an even dice. Place the onion flat side down again and slice across into a uniform dice. Place diced onions into a bowl and set aside.
- In a medium skillet over high heat, melt the butter. Then add diced onions and a generous pinch of salt. Stir and sauté until onions begin to sweat, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, 20-30 minutes. Set aside to cool, 10-15 minutes. (Makes ½-⅔ cup caramelized onions.)Meanwhile, start the potato chips.
- In a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add enough oil to fill halfway. (You may not need all of the oil.) Clip a deep fry thermometer onto the side of the pot and heat oil to 350 F. Assemble the dip: Stir lemon juice into the cooled caramelized onions. Add ½ cup of the onions and a pinch of cayenne to the crème fraîche, then stir to combine; add a pinch of salt. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning; finish with chives and set aside.
- Potato chips: Line a large bowl with two layers of paper towel to drain the chips. Trim and discard the ends of each potato. Adjust mandoline setting to 1/16-inch thick (about the thickness of a dime), then carefully slice the potatoes. Quickly but gently place ⅓ of the potato slices into the oil, one by one; spreading them out will help them fry flat and prevent sticking. (Since the chips fry so quickly, it's useful to have a second person add slices at the same time, to encourage even cooking in larger batches.) Stir and flip the potatoes with the spider strainer to separate. Then let the potatoes fry, stirring, separating, and flipping the chips as needed, and adjusting the heat to keep the temperature at 350 degrees F. Chips are done when they're a deep golden color, 4-6 minutes.
- Transfer the chips to the paper towel-lined bowl. While the chips are still hot, sprinkle with salt while shaking to bowl to season evenly. (Seasoning and tossing immediately after frying will help chips dry while absorbing salt.) Repeat in two batches with remaining potatoes. Serve with dip.
GRANDMAS'S DIP
This is the most addictive dip in the world. Every party, we all stand around eating this with chips like there's no tomorrow. You really have to add garlic salt and onion powder to taste. We like a strong garlic taste so we use more.

ONION DIP FROM SCRATCH
French onion soup meets tangy sour cream in this homemade version of America's favorite chip dip. According to American culinary legend, an unknown Los Angeles chef devised onion dip back in the fifties by mixing Lipton soup mix with sour cream. Maybe, maybe not. What we know is that the folks at Lipton's picked up the ball and ran with it to the point that more of their dehydrated onion soup mix was going into the dip bowl than the soup bowl. I have nothing against using manufactured mixes, but look, after the zombie apocalypse strikes, and the megamart shelves are stripped bare...what do we do then? Those of us with this recipe in our go-bags will survive to dip another day. Food for thought people, food for thought. This dip is even better when made a day ahead. Just make sure that you cover it well with plastic wrap because fats (like sour cream) take in flavors and aromas hanging around the refrigerator like crazy old grandmas collect leftover gift wrapping.This recipe first appeared in Season 6 of Good Eats.

Steps:
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly slice the onions and place in a large pot. Sprinkle with the baking soda, salt, and dark brown sugar, and gently toss with tongs. Cover the pot and let the onions rest for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, uncover the pot, and place over high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil and cook, stirring often, until the onions are reduced by 75 percent and are a light gold color. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for approximately 15 minutes, stirring often.
- Deglaze the pan with a few shakes of sherry vinegar and water. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring, scraping all the brown bits off the bottom of the pot. The onions should be dark golden brown and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups in volume. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once cool, put 1/2 cup of the caramelized onions in a medium mixing bowl. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and white pepper, and stir to combine.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Overnight would be even better.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a roasting pan, rub the 2 onions in their skins with the 2 tablespoons oil. Bake until squishy soft, turning them once, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. Peel the onions and set aside.
- Meanwhile, finely dice the remaining onion. Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 cup oil and heat until hot. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions just begin to lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 18 minutes more. Strain the onions through a sieve over a bowl. Transfer the onions to a paper towel-lined plate and spread them into a single layer. Reserve 1/4 cup of the onion oil and let it cool completely. (Reserve the remaining oil for dressings or marinades.)
- Puree the roasted onions in a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and salt, and pulse until smooth. While the motor is running, drizzle in the 1/4 cup of the reserved onion oil until incorporated. Season with pepper and hot sauce, to taste. Transfer the onion dip to a serving bowl and stir in the scallion. Refrigerate until very thick, about 3 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve top with the fried onions. Serve with chips.
