Munchies

  1. 1

    Prepare the dip base

    In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream and French onion soup mix until smooth.

  2. 2

    Flavor the dip

    Stir in minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped chives. Taste and adjust with more lemon juice or salt if needed. Refrigerate 30–60 minutes to meld flavors.

  3. 3

    Chill the dip

    Keep the dip chilled while you make the chips.

  4. 4

    Prep the potatoes for chips

    Rinse the potatoes and slice very thin (about 1 mm) using a sharp knife or mandoline. Pat dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture.

  5. 5

    Heat the oil

    In a heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the neutral oil to 170–180°C (340–360°F).

  6. 6

    Fry the chips

    Fry potato slices in small batches until crisp and lightly golden. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and season with sea salt while still hot.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the chilled Kiwi onion dip with the crispy potato chips.
