Serves 4

Ingredients


  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp. minced, fresh dill
  • 1 Tbsp. minced, fresh chives
  • 2 Tbsp. dried parsley
  • 1 Tbsp. each, onion powder and garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. sweet Spanish paprika
  • 1/4 pound blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 pound shallots
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • Ridged potato chips for serving

    Directions


    In a bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, dill, chives, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and paprika and stir to mix well. Fold in the blue cheese.

    Using a mandoline, slice the shallots into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick.

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to 325° F. Add the shallots and fry until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.

    Sprinkle the shallots over the dip and serve with the potato chips for dipping.
