Sour Cream And Onion Snack Recipes

HOMEMADE SOUR CREAM AND ONION CHIPS

Steps:

• Whisk together 8 cups water with 1/4 cup of the salt. Place the sliced potatoes into the water-and-salt solution and let soak for at least 20 minutes. After they have soaked, dry thoroughly on a paper towels or dish towels.
• Heat the oil a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a spice grinder, combine the buttermilk powder, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, dill and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Grind into a homogeneous powder.
• In handful-size batches, fry the potatoes until they just turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss immediately in a large bowl with some of the spice mixture. Then place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle them again with some of the spice mixture.
• Hold them in semi-airtight container for a few days, if you can stand it that long.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil. Add the onions, season with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the potatoes with salt and pepper and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain out the excess moisture.
• Set individual cast-iron pans over medium heat until very hot. Add some olive oil to each pan and a handful of the potatoes. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip and add more oil if necessary. Cook until golden brown on the second side and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Top each hash brown with some caramelized onions and a dollop of sour cream and chopped scallions.

VEGAN SOUR CREAM AND ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat the plant-based butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat until the butter melts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the onion and mix well. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply brown, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika and thyme and cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until the garlic is lightly browned.
• Scrape onion mixture into a small food processor or blender and pulse 4 or 5 times or until the onions are puréed.
• Add the plant-based cream cheese and lemon juice and pulse 4 or 5 times until the onions are well dispersed throughout and dip has the consistency of sour cream. Do not over-pulse, or the plant based cream cheese will begin to get loose and runny. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the dried, chopped onions if using. Garnish with crispy shallots and more thyme, if desired. Serve with chips or crudités.
