Categories     appetizer

Time 1h33m

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium onions, 2 left in their skins, and 1 peeled
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce, as needed
2 scallions (white and green), minced
Serving Suggestions: Lots of your favorite potato chips

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 they 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 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Use a combination of yellow and white onions for a balanced flavor. Yellow onions provide a sweet and pungent base, while white onions add a sharper bite.
  • Caramelize the Onions: Caramelizing the onions brings out their natural sweetness and adds a rich, golden color to the dip. Cook the onions slowly over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until they are soft and caramelized.
  • Use a Quality Sour Cream: Opt for a full-fat sour cream for a creamy and tangy base. Avoid using non-fat or low-fat sour cream, as they can make the dip too thin and runny.
  • Add Some Cheese: Grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese adds a cheesy, umami flavor to the dip. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season the dip to your personal preference. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs and spices that you enjoy.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop. This also makes the dip thicker and easier to scoop.

Conclusion:

With its creamy, tangy, and flavorful profile, onion dip is a classic party appetizer that is sure to be a hit with your guests. By following these tips and experimenting with different ingredients, you can create a delicious and unique onion dip that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or something more adventurous, there is an onion dip out there for everyone. So grab a bag of onions and get dipping!
