Homemade cream and onion chips are a delicious and addictive snack that’s easy to make. Here’s a recipe to make your own creamy and flavorful chips:
Ingredients:
- 4-5 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced (use a mandoline for even slices)
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 tablespoons dried onion soup mix (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potato Slices:
- Rinse the potato slices under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
- Make the Cream and Onion Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, dried onion soup mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
- Coat the Potato Slices:
- Take each potato slice and coat it generously with the cream and onion mixture. Make sure both sides of each slice are well-covered.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350-375°F (175-190°C).
- Fry the Potato Slices:
- Carefully add the coated potato slices to the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the potato slices until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 3-5 minutes per batch.
- Use a slotted spoon or a mesh strainer to remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve:
- Once the chips have cooled slightly but are still warm, you can garnish them with fresh chives or parsley if you like.
- Serve your homemade cream and onion chips immediately. Enjoy!
These homemade cream and onion chips are best when they are fresh and still a bit warm. The creamy and flavorful coating makes them a delicious and satisfying snack for any occasion.
