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)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Fold the cooled caramelized onions into the mixture. Cover and refrigerate the onion dip for at least 15 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the chilled onion dip with the freshly fried chips. Enjoy!
