Ingredients

  • 4 small Yukon gold potatoes
  • olive oil for frying

Dip

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped green onions
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Potato Chips

  • Use a mandoline or very sharp knife to cut the potatoes into ⅛ inch slices.
  • Rinse well.
  • Drain thoroughly.
  • Pat dry.
  • Heat ½ inch olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Fry potato slices until they are just starting to brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain well.
  • Season with salt.

Dip

  • With an electric mixer, beat sour cream and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Mix in onion powder and green onions.

Notes

Substitutions:
  • You can fry these potato chips in vegetable oil rather than olive oil.
  • Any type of potato can be used. We just prefer the flavor of Yukon Gold!
  • Any seasoning you like can be used on the chips.
  • If you would like to make this recipe vegan/dairy-free, use your favorite non-dairy cream cheese and sour cream.
Expert Tips:
  • If the potatoes are sliced too thick, they will not fry/cook properly. Try and get them as thin as you can!
  • We chose to leave the peel on, but you can peel the potatoes, if you prefer.
  • You can use 2 large potatoes instead of 4 small ones
  • Olive oil has a low smoke point. Be careful to not over heat!
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when you are frying the chips.
