Ingredients

3 medium onions, 2 unpeeled, 1 peeled
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 scallions (white and green parts), minced
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot pepper sauce
Potato chips, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Rub unpeeled onions with a bit of the olive oil; roast until soft, about 45 minutes. Cool and peel.

Finely dice the peeled raw onion. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add remaining oil and heat until quite hot. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Turn to medium-low and cook until onion is golden brown, about 18 minutes. Scrape onion, oil, and juices into a sieve over a bowl. Drain onions and spread on a paper towel-lined plate. Cool the strained oil.

Puree roasted onions in a food processor. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and salt; pulse until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup of the flavored reserved oil. Transfer to a serving bowl. Stir in scallions, pepper, and hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Scatter the fried onions over the top just before serving with potato chips.

Unimpressed
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The mayo over-powered the flavor of the dip and the onion was over whelming. The dip was so thick and strong that we waited... until the next day to have it and mixed 1 or 2 tablespoons of the hardened onion concentrate into 1/2 cup of sour cream to thin out the texture anad the flavor.Read more

Very popular at a recent party!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for a party, and everyone raved - they were putting on veggies as well as the potato chips that I... brought. It was pretty easy, albeit a bit time-consuming, because of the roasting and cooling fo the onions. I used low fat mayo and sour cream, and no one even noticed.Read more

Very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It was very good, but I think next time I'll use less mayo and more sour cream. It's good with crunchy potato chips. It makes... a very big batch.Read more
