Ingredients
- 3 yellow onions thinly sliced (1/8" thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (you can add more if you'd like)
- potato chips for serving
Instructions
- Slice onions in half length wise and then slice to 1/8" thickness. I used a mandolin which made it fast and easy.
- In a 12 inch skillet over medium-low heat add the olive oil and onions. Stir occasionally. Keep the heat at the medium-low setting, you don't want to get overzealous and use too hot of heat and then burn the onions.
- Caramelizing onions takes about 40-45 minutes. You want the onions to be a rich brown, soft but not mushy.
- Once the onions have caramelized, remove from heat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Using hand beaters, cream the mixture until it's a smooth consistency.
- On a cutting board, slice the onions so that they are bite sized pieces.
- Add the onions and fresh parsley to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine. Serve with potato chips!
Notes
Store covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Cook low and slow or else the onions will burn! Caramelization will take about 40 minutes.
Use olive oil and NOT butter. Olive oil has a higher smoking point so it won't burn as easily as butter will.
