Ingredients

  • For the caramelized onions:
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 medium yellow onions, halved then sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • For the dip:
  • 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chives, optional, to taste, chopped, for topping
  • potato chips, optional, to taste, for serving

Directions

Step 1 -In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add the oil.
