It's funny because Stephen is so low key, and even keel, but I am of the opinion that the way you prepare food shows how much you love the people you are serving it too. He never rushes, he doesn't skimp on the quality of his ingredients, he takes no half measures. He takes the time that is required to get the best results. Part of it is professionalism, yes, but part of it is pure, passionate, love.
If that were indeed true I'd expect him to quote some of the chemical reactions going on way more than the basic comments every now and again. What sets apart good chefs from brilliant chefs is one has experience and the other has experience and chemical expertise. In a way that is indeed low key though it is evident it's more about preparing the food rather than efficiency.
@@aniinnrchoque1861 u think a chef can’t be brilliant unless they understand the science of cooking? What about chefs in villages in countries like Vietnam? They don’t know the science but they make some of the best food on the planet. It is about passion and intent, not about the science.
that's why his videos are some of my favorites cooking videos, I got tired of the recipe videos out there where they do a bunch of quick editing, rush showing the process, and are trying to be funny the whole time.
@@aniinnrchoque1861 Obviously you have some strong opinions, but I have no idea what your comment has to do with mine. I never even said Stephen is brilliant, I never implied he shows some mystical level of food science mastery. I never even made an effusive statement like "He is the best!" (Though I feel sure that there is no dish that came out of his kitchen I would not love.) I said he prepares his food with love and care and it shows. That said, Heston Blumenthal does not beat Monsieur Pepin, he just doesn't. I get it, in the post-Alton Brown world, science and food are enjoying a happy marriage, but they were perfectly comfortable singles, as well. And to go right back to the very top of my comment, I did say that this is my OPINION. Therefore it IS true. You don't get to define my thoughts from your keyboard, sorry. For someone who seems to enjoy precise explanations, your reading comprehension seems to be a little lackluster.
@@thestuffreviewer77 There are two main ways to gain knowledge, through experience of doing, or of studying what was done by others. The experiential chef has won his expertise by doing. Those are the village chefs, the moms who learned at their mother's sides, the street vendors who made the same meal ten thousand times in a year. As you say, passion will make you great.
@@dainpeters6943 I did and I think the onion powder is almost too much. I think next time I'm going to try it without the onion powder and I'm going to swap the mayo for cream cheese to see how that comes out.
Great recipe easy to follow and produces great tasting results with good texture to boot. With the onions we like to add some water and cover with a lid it causes the onions to breakdown the onions much quicker and carameralize move evenly, once softened remove the lid and continue as normal. For us on our cooker it takes 30 - 35 minutes to caramalize 1kg of pealed and chopped onions in a 12" stainless pan. For the bacon we use trim/offcut packs of "cooking bacon" rather than the more costly proper siled bacon, less than half the price of per kg of other packs. We also like to add cooked canned sweetcorn to the dip, most often we just make the "dip" and use it as a sandwich spread on good bread. Take care, God bless one and all.
I've been cooking for my entire life, and when I watched this appetizer being made, I was hooked! The only potato chips that I love are made in this way... Homemade! BRILLIANT RECIPE SIR! 😎♥️🎻
I'm from France and didnt know those kinds of dips, so I tried at home with some missing ingredients, and switching some creme with some grec yougurt (what's in the fridge) and it was a real amazing discovery for me, already know I m gonna make it again it's so powerful yet sweet, its delicious thx !
Yum! this reminds me of something...my mom makes this pastrami green onion dip. it uses cream cheese & Worcestershire & sour cream & some other things. i eat it with wheat thins or pita. its bomb. i wanna try this. super simple & easy to remember. recipes like this are fun because when you make them by heart its a little bit different everytime. because the ratio isnt always exact.
I believe the dip you're talking about is a dried beef dip. Looks like pastrami but its saltier and yes this recipe is amazing. @@mellowmonkey7730 if they don't answer I can get the recipe I have it written down somewhere I'll find it tmw lol I'm in bed now. But its dried beef, green onion, sour cream, cream cheese, some seasonings and I think some mayo even? Not sure I'll look at it and add it to this thread and tag you lol.
Im happy to see him using safety precautions I've seen many many chefs NOT do here on UA-cam. Using the kevlar glove and being careful with a mandolin! I've seen SO many chefs emphasize how dangerous it is and do it bare-handed and as fast as possible. This guy is the real deal.
loved this recipe, already written on my notebook! Also, please please use a safety glove and stay focused when using a mandolin, these things are crazy sharp, I cut like 1/8" of my finger once, didn't even notice until my white onion turned red
@@bgowin100 I've been putting off getting one because my mother in law had to go to the emergency room last year from cutting herself on one and not being able to stop the bleeding. Ugh .
Just stumbled across this channel, and this guy knows his stuff! The line between helpful instruction and mere pedantry is a thin one, and this video walks that line perfectly. So glad to have found NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW!
Thumbs up for being honest about caramalized onion cooking time haha! so many people say "about 15 minutes" or some dumb figure like I am some sort of caramalizing magician
I'm making this for the superbowl. Thanks for another great recipe. Combination of three things every sane person loves....... Onions, Bacon, and well made potato chips
This is a great dip! I often make a simple dip with carmelized onion only but the bacon takes it to another level! I use my favorite greek yogurt instead to make it a tiny bit healthier :)
That dip looks amazing, gonna do both sweet potato chips, and potato chips this Christmas for the family, and I think I'm gonna do them in my oven though (sweet potato chips are especially good in the oven imo. if you spray them down with oil).
Looks amazing! I do make an onion dip from scratch, using different types of onions: sweet, red and shallots, but never with bacon. Will definitely give it a try! Thank you! And Happy Holidays!
Please cut up the bacon and mix it into the dip after. I died a bit inside when he threw the bacon into the mixer with the onions thus soaking the bacon.
@@aniinnrchoque1861 I mean either way the bacon will become at least a little moist. Unless you keep the bacon seperate after chopping or immediately eat the entire bowl of dip after adding the bacon.
I cook bacon like that often, slicing into small pieces. I find it's much easier to not even try to separate them until after they start sweating in the pan and they almost fall apart. Cooking on low to med-low heat
Just made this recipe for the holidays! So happy I did. I also had an idea of adding hot sauce or paprika to the mix. Soon to come a great addition to a steak sandwich
I made this exactly according to the recipe (well, except for the chips; I'm not that ambitious). The dip was amazing and I'm making it again for a party tomorrow night. Thank you--once again--Stephen.
I’m making this for my own Christmas visit with family! Wish me luck!! It looks like an amazing recipe! Update: I just made it as close to the recipe as I could. I couldn’t find shallots but it didn’t kill the recipe. I didn’t have sherry either but a few splashes of vodka worked awesome for deglazing. I wimped out and didn’t add extra onion or garlic powder. It came out FANTASTIC! thank you for helping me step up my bring-a-dish game! Merry Christmas, all!
My first real job was working for a potato company that ships to lays potato chips. I did quality assurance so I Cooked potato chips all day long with different potatoes. Russets suuuuck for potato chips.
Looks deadly, definitely going to try this. Also wanted to say thanks, I just stared a channel and you were one of the inspirations for that. Watched your video on how you make your videos months ago and I finally pulled the trigger. Thanks and keep the good dishes coming dude!
Gotta be honest, the color and texture doesn’t look great but I find that’s sometimes why something is great. It’s unexpected. Looking forward to trying this.
Great stuff keep it going. I like the simplicity of your cooking and at the same time your explainations. Its complete on all fronts and thats really worth something.
The vinegar stops the reaction of starch converting to sugar in the presence of high heat, resulting in a firmer texture. It's the same reason you can parboil french fries with a nip of vinegar and particularly sweet potato sorts to keep them from turning into mashed potatoes for a parboil. Acids retard the heat x starch sugar reaction.
I haven't even watched this yet and I've already liked it.
Same, as soon as I tapped the video 😂
@@aaronmeyers7275 He had me at bacon, onion dip NGL
Facts
Same. Saved for a rainy day
OMG, you too? OMG, OMG! Im so excited i pooped my pants and liked the video before I watched it.
Dry sherry is the BEST tip... onions and bacon LOVE that nuttiness...❤
This guy's video are so calming I'm driving late night and just listening to him talk. All worries washed away

did you add the onion and garlic powder?

For real the best cooking channel on youtube. Good explanation, nice clips, good voice over. solid
finally a good bacon onion dip without added sugar. The onions are so sweet on their own.

@@HollywoodCreeper what does this have to do with... anything
You can definitely tell you love what you do man it shows in your technique, end product and presentation. Simple and beautiful.

You and thatdudecancook are the best chefs on UA-cam hands down, videos for people who actually cook everyday
Dat crunch doe!
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Made it for Thanksgiving yesterday. The family loved it!
This is what I call “Must-see” video. That jammy bacon and onion dip looked so delicious I nearly started chewing on my own leg! 😆
This leads me to believe you might be made of jammy bacon and onion dip.
What the fuck?
Wha…
please no
im in your walls
Wow what a labor of love.
The best dip I ever test, for sure. And with the crispy potatoes. Oh! My God!
I made this for a party, huge hit. Did not make the chips, just used Ms. Vicki's. Dip was amazing.
loved this recipe, already written on my notebook!
Also, please please use a safety glove and stay focused when using a mandolin, these things are crazy sharp, I cut like 1/8" of my finger once, didn't even notice until my white onion turned red
Scared of those mandolins! Those mesh cutting gloves are good to have and help you work with more confidence!
Very hard to get a cut from a mandolin to stop bleeding too
@@bgowin100 I've been putting off getting one because my mother in law had to go to the emergency room last year from cutting herself on one and not being able to stop the bleeding. Ugh .

This is the way.
Thumbs up for being honest about caramalized onion cooking time haha! so many people say "about 15 minutes" or some dumb figure like I am some sort of caramalizing magician
Thank you for showing this crips and dip
I'm making this for the superbowl. Thanks for another great recipe. Combination of three things every sane person loves....... Onions, Bacon, and well made potato chips
The mayo overpowers the other flavors at first but after letting it sit overnight it's way better.
I would do just the sour cream and not add the vinegar. Or I could make some mayo from all the bacon grease left behind.
Oh my goodness! I can't wait to make this and more importantly EAT THIS! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE......
Making the dip this weekend. Yummy is an understatement. Chips? well, lays will do just fine.
Wow!
Mouth is literally watering
This is a great dip! I often make a simple dip with carmelized onion only but the bacon takes it to another level! I use my favorite greek yogurt instead to make it a tiny bit healthier :)

@@prcornbread214 yes, but why. Just a chip with beef bacon and coarse ground mustard is fantastic!

Slicing those potatoes *in length* and *with* the skin on is the subtle *pro* move in this video. 👌 Vinegar was just the cherry on top. 😘🤗
You have an incredibly underrated channel, my good man. As always, thank you for another bomb recipe and video. Blessings!
Saved this video because it makes my mouth water LOL. It sounds DAM good!!!
Made Weekday Sauce for supper, wonderful! Thanks!
Wow!!!
Got stoked when I saw the cookbook, was thinking I could gift them!

Love these healthy low fat meals
Wow that looks phenomenal

Nice job boss, I love brown potato chips and the only way to get some these days is by making your own at home.
Damn that looks amazing. My family just mixes a powdered onion soup packet with sour cream and buys chips. :D
Kiwi classic though!
Honestly, that sounds pretty good too
@@Murmurrr it definitely is, especially for the low effort involved!
It's pretty good though. I've had homemade dips I've liked less.

I am absolutely making this for Christmas Eve!
Gotta be honest, the color and texture doesn’t look great but I find that’s sometimes why something is great. It’s unexpected. Looking forward to trying this.
I agree. Some of the best foods look unappetizing imo
Duuuude! the chips and dip look amazingly delicious! Great job!
Nice detail of the process. Great vid. Looks delicious
Additionally, I love to sprinkle some grated parm. on the chips!!!
I just made it and it’s absolutely delicious 😋
That's an excellent idea for an appetizer for a holiday party! Subbed. Great and short video.
This is worth it for the great cooking instruction alone. Well done. 🙌🏻🙏🏻
I would add this dip to my baked potatoe...maybe over some pastas too.
