That looks so delicious, Chef! As a old fart of 61, that dried soup mix dip was a staple for all parties, and for the chips. My parents never made it early enough for it to blend properly, but when it was still around perhaps the next day, it was quite tasty.
Yes, I know what you mean, you have to make it early and let it sit in the fridge. That dip and chips are my favorite snack food. I do plan ahead with that snack. Lol. I've made homemade onion dip and its good, this recipe looks better than what I made. Im trying this one.
@@debbienye6002 I would say add some of each. Walla walla, Vidalia, some red, a small yellow, scallions and chives. Layers of flavor, tight? Its allll good!
Also, Just slice onions in half or quarters and run cold water on them. It washes the fumes off. No tears after that! Or put the onion in freezer for 5 min. 👍
Thanks Chef John.The best onion dip I've ever had is a kiwi ( New Zealand) one. 1 pack of Maggi onion soup mix and 1 can of nestle reduced cream with a squeeze of fresh lemon about 1 teaspoon. Mix altogether really well and then you must refrigerate for 1 hour. Then serve with any potato chips of your choice or if your doing keto, with raw veggies. 😂😍
Crap! I caught myself drooling while imagining I was eating the chips he was dipping. Oh, wait...was I supposed to keep that to myself? I gotta make this for the Super Bowl!!!
That's my favourite too. Chips and onion dip the best combo. The caramelised onion gives an irresistible taste. Anything with caramelised onion is my favourite. Thanks for sharing
I had to make this again for a friend who required it blended to a fine paste. I left out the sour cream and green onions. It was totally delicious spread thinly on toast, great for aperitif.
Hey Chef John! We recently discovered your videos and have to say, this is SO much more fun to watch than some of the other channels out there. This one in particular had me saying, "How much more onion do you need?" And by the end, my answer was a resounding, "All of it!" Can't wait to try this one!
My All In Onion Dip has the same ingredients plus white onions, usually vidalia, though not the same amounts. In mine the white onion is caramelized and set aside, the yellow onion is browned, the red onion and shallot is softened, the dried minced onion is simply hydrated in the mix, and the green onions and chives are raw. The white, yellow and red onions and the shallots are small diced, the green onions are quartered and sliced thin, and the chives are chopped extremely small. Gave the recipe to somebody once who thought the dried minced onion was pointless. I reckon it depends on how many you add, and I add way more than shown in this video, and just in case you're wondering, they do rehydrate by being added to the moist cooked onions and even more when they sit in the mayo and sour cream mix, so they will get tender, be patient. Folks also put this on sandwiches and rave about it, so saving some back to use as a condiment ain't a bad idea, but it won't keep as long as other condiments. Have also made a hot dip with this recipe by adding cream cheese, white cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan, but will sneak in some pepper jack now and then.
OooOooOoo! I love when I get to have a difference of opinion with chef John! I leave the half root on each half of onion, it helps hold the onion together while dicing. (And I superstitiously believe it helps keep the smell down to reduce incidents of crying.)
Haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I already know my mom would have loved this- - she loved anything onion. Also, our kids just recently asked me to find a homemade onion dip. Whoever’s Food Wish this was, thank you kindly. 🙌 ... Now, on to the video! 💨💨💨
I mean that is up to how much of a perfectionist you are, Michelin star chefs will do the extra cuts because it makes the mince more even. But who the hell cares about that when making dinner or snacks.
And, Just slice onions in half or quarters and run cold water on them. It washes the fumes off. No tears after that! Or put the onion in freezer for 5 min. 👍
Omg! I love watching your videos. Just found your channel after two years of searching coz I forgot the name of the channel 🤦🏾♀️and I may or may not have cried🤧. So happy, I shall be binging on old videos 💃🏾
Just slice onions in half or quarters and run cold water on them. It washes the fumes off. No tears after that! Or put the onion in freezer for 5 min. 👍
The reason the onions are falling apart when you’re cutting them is because you cut off the root, leave the root on to make dicing easier and cut it off after dicing or cut to the root when dicing to make life so much easier

"You were so wrapped up in layers, Onion Boy, you're afraid of your own feelings." - Donkey Keep in mind...no double dipping. And thankfully this does conform to AB's breakthrough Unified Dip Theory.
To cut down on the crying while dicing. Try placing the onions in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before cutting. It's a warm onion that let out the gas. Also to make the sour cream 'thicker' take a cheese cloth and placing several scoops of sour cream in the center make a bag out the cloth by bringing the corners together and squeeze out some of the fluid from the sour cream. Also remember warm is the enemy to thick sour cream so keep it chilled as long as possible. You could also extend that by placing the the bowl of dip in an ice bath when serving.
I made my own version of this dip on Saturday night for use during the Super Bowl. It took a long time to finely dice a yellow onion, a red onion, and a large shallot. That was the hardest part, though. I sauteed all three kinds of onion (about half of what I cut) with some olive oil, added 4 cloves of garlic. Let it cool, then mixed in 2/3 sour cream and 1/3 mayo. Added a bunch of dried onion bits. Then I added Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, some Smack Ya Mama Cajun seasoning and dill. While it was different than the classic "Onion Soup powder in Sour Cream," dip, my version was really good.
I always add dill to my onion dip. I think it's a great complementary flavor. Sometimes I'll add bacon, because...bacon. I've never used so many onion types -- usually I only use scallions and chives. I've only used suateed browned onion a couple of times. It definitely adds a layer of complexity but I like the bright freshness of the raw green onions.
We're on a near daily raw vegetable sticks trip + I live my best life on an overall low carb diet and I love onion. So that delightful onion dip is on the to-devour-list for the weekend. Since (American style) sour cream still isn't available in Germany, I'll substitute with a creme fraiche/cream cheese mix. I am salivating 🤩
Made it last night with some Miracle Whip and Greek yogurt..... damn good after overnight in the frig. I suggest the juice of 1/2 lemon. If you really want to bump it up sauté the onions in 1/4 cup red wine and reduce way down to almost nothing.
Forgot those deepfried onions you get in a bag. Like julienned onion chips, I eat them outta the bag. Dip n' chip in one. Love your voice, method, humor, and exquisite recipes . Gotta BE California ! Lol!!
Thanks Chef John - you have now justified my husbands need to scoop way more dip than is necessary on his chips. He said if Chef John does it then it’s good. Thanks bro
I made this today and it was pretty tasty. Then I had some after it had been in the fridge for 8 hours and it was the BOMB. Chef John is right about the green onions and chives. Add those just before eating, as they must be fresh. The result is a truly amazing onion dip. Also, I used bacon fat instead of olive oil to sauté the onions because duh.
We had a set of bowls for chips and dip exactly the same as the chip bowl in this video. You're missing the little dip bowl from the set, but the dip tastes great straight from any bowl.
@Food Wishes When I dice onions I like to keep the heel side on. First of all it kind of puts a cap on the onion; without opening up both ends the onion will release less syn-propanethial-S-oxide, so less tears. (that might be an urban legend, or it might be a pro tip from Alton Brown or someone hah) Second it gives you a handle to hold on to.
Just made this tonight, for tomorrow, everything from my own garden except the mayo & sour cream because I don't grow those things. I added some roasted garlic & some of my homemade onion powder. ZOMG! This stuff is amazeballs, and it's gonna be off the charts when I add in the green onion & chives.
OMGOSH! 6 layers of onion flavor, and some garlic granules? The only way to make this more onion... adding onion juice, and onion granules! 😁 Yes, I love this idea. 💡 Thank you, Chef John!
Mmm. Growing up, onion dip & chips was synonymous with "this is a special occasion." Chef John is right -- don't compromise on the chips! Full-fat, not thin, waved stands up well to dipping.
If you keep your knife super sharp you dont have to worry about it so much. A dull knife smashes the onion a bit releasing more syn-propanethial-S-oxide. This is the compound from onions that burns your eyes.. Trust me, sharpen your knife regularly.
MAKE THE THIRD! ;) Chef John is one of my top two UA-cam chefs. Recipes are always rock solid and sooo tasty. I cooked his spaghetti sauce last weekend to make a deep dish pizza, his hot & sour soup couple of days ago, his brownies a couple weeks ago, and .. Oh the bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breasts ..
I have done home-made onion dip before but it was never as good as the quick stuff you make with onion soup mix. But I thought I'd try yet again since he says it's like the soup mix version. And this time it turned out great. Even better than soup mix! I guess the dried onion made all the difference. Let me tell you I am shocked.
My "initiation" to onion dip was years and years ago when I worked at camp, and the counselors were having a night off. Someone brought onion dip flavoured with (you guessed it) those little dry pieces of onion from an onion soup mix. I thought I was in heaven! And now, I see this!!!! Nom, nom, nom, nom! I gotta have it!
Not gonna lie.... it was hard to get use to your voice at first.... but now I find it, ssoooo soothing. And enjoy watching when needing to relax 🥰🥰 hope all is well, God bless you and yours John 🙏🙌💖💖
Chef john, nice recipe, on that whole onion you cut in half, i would put a box grater in a bowl, grate 1/2 of it to get all that onion juice out to add to the dip as we like our onion dip with a strong flavor in rural Kentucky, try it once, it is good

People always cry when cutting onions.
The trick is not to form an emotional bond.
lul
impossible though. Onions are life!
And get a shaper knife
@@souris101111 They are the toughest vegetable, only they fight back when cut :D

Scooped up on a chip
Will have you screaming for more
Love it

Thanks for the limerick, Linda! :D
Wonderful. Perhaps "Will have you crying for more"?
Onion dip also tastes incredible on a burger, with sliced tomato and spicy pickle chips
Oooh that sounds good
Makes sense
Finally, lmao people looked at me funny when I put the onion dip on my burger. Hits so hard
Why has this never occurred to me? I feel like I've let myself down.
@S Ragsdale it is wonderful on roast beast as well as pulled pork, with out the sauce
Tip: Adding the dried onion will also help thicken the dip, as they will absorb moisture as they rehydrate while resting.
I can’t be the only one who actually sings aloud with him when he says “and as always, enjoy “.
I do the same thing! 😆
I totally do too and I even sang it in his voice when I read that lol
To be honest, I don't sing along, but I do add a dash of cayenne in his honor
Sometimes I think I watch only to hear him say "freshly ground black pepper". Totally iconic.
Strange
Youre not alone
My favorite is the 'oooold tappa-tappa' and the 'oooold shakea-shakea'. Man, I love chef John.
As well as a few shakes of cayenne

Chef John’s viewers are some of the best onion poets I’ve seen
I have subscribed to this chef long time ago when life was good it's not so good anymore but his videos are still good
I leave one end on my onion as a hand hold. It also lets me cut closer to the edge of the onion
Also, Just slice onions in half or quarters and run cold water on them. It washes the fumes off. No tears after that! Or put the onion in freezer for 5 min. 👍

...Thanks Jon...
You do this to me EVERYTIME!
Chef John came right out and put “Super Bowl” right in the title. No fear.
Not trademark infringement, just a description. Because he put the super dip in a bowl. If you put it in a cup, then you have super cup dip.
@@UrbanPanic and he put it in a super bowl, so the name is doubly accurate.
What does a god have to fear?
You are the one to extol the decontrol of the super bowl patrol.
That "And as always. Enjoy" Never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Lol!! So cute!! Loved your comment. You are sweet ^~^
Onions and garlic are the best
I find it works much better to leave the root end on the onion to dice. That way it stays together and you have less waste.
Also, 2-3 horizontal cuts give you more consistent pieces.
Everyone has a plan, until they start dicing an onion.
I have started using swimming glasses when chopping oinions. Works perfectly. Not a single tear shed.
