Best Onion Dip Potato Chips Recipes

POTATO CHIPS WITH FRENCH ONION DIP

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.

HOMEMADE ROSEMARY POTATO CHIPS WITH CHARRED ONION DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: Cut the onion into slices, keeping the layers together in full rounds. Lightly oil a hot grill or cast-iron skillet and place the onions cut-side down on the heated surface. Cook on one side until completely blackened and charred. Turn and char the other side, about 5 minutes total.
• When all the onion is cooked, cool it completely, and then roughly chop. Combine the onion, sour cream, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire and lemon juice in a food processor. Puree until thoroughly mixed but not smooth. (To make the dip without a food processor, finely chop the onions, and then blend with the remaining ingredients.) Stir in the chives and adjust the seasoning.
• For the potato chips: Slice the potatoes thin (less than 1/8 inch) on a mandoline. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl and rinse under cool running water until the water in the bowl is clear. Drain and dry very well with paper towels or spin in a salad spinner.
• Heat a large pot of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Add the potatoes in batches and fry until crisped, about 3 minutes per batch. When they are brown, remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season immediately with salt. When all the chips are cooked, toss in a bowl with the rosemary and freshly ground pepper.
