Bacon-Onion Dip

So all week-long I kept updating my Facebook that I wanted to make bacon-onion dip, or dip and homemade potato chips. So bad for you, but tastes OH so GOOD! So screw it! I work hard. I felt I deserved it! And I had PMS so there was no stopping me, and I hadn’t had bacon in two weeks! I was going through withdrawals! So I made this dip:

 

Recipe

• 1  (8-oz.) container sour cream
• 1/2  cup  cooked and crumbled bacon
• 2  tablespoons  green onions, sliced
• 3  tablespoons  buttermilk
• 1  tablespoon  horseradish
• 2  teaspoons  fresh lemon juice
• 1/4  teaspoon  pepper
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• Garnish: chopped fresh chives, black pepper

1. Stir together first 8 ingredients. Cover and chill until ready to serve (up to 24 hours). Garnish, if desired.

Don’t forget the homemade potatoes chips!

I don’t have a recipe for these, I just winged it! Took 3 large russet potatoes peeled them, washed them and sliced them with my kitchen aide slicer thingy:

I put the sliced potatoes in cold water, rinsed them and kept doing this until the water was clear.

Then I laid each potato slice out on paper towels individually to dry.

Then I took a deep pot and poured 1 qt bottle of canola oil in pan and turned it up to medium high heat about 7-10 minutes dropped the test potato in to make sure it was hot enough and started frying the potatoes

cook until potatoes start to turn brown 3-5 minutes, don’t let them get too brown

transfer to a paper towel lined plate and let grease drain, sprinkle with salt as soon as you take them out of the oil

Let them cool and then dip them in the bacon-onion dip

You could also use this dip for a baked potato…

I cut up a potato for lunch the next day and roasted the potatoes when they were all cooked I topped them with this dip and it was fabulous:
