Sour Cream And Onion Snack Recipes

HOMEMADE SOUR CREAM AND ONION CHIPS

Steps:

• Whisk together 8 cups water with 1/4 cup of the salt. Place the sliced potatoes into the water-and-salt solution and let soak for at least 20 minutes. After they have soaked, dry thoroughly on a paper towels or dish towels.
• Heat the oil a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a spice grinder, combine the buttermilk powder, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, dill and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Grind into a homogeneous powder.
• In handful-size batches, fry the potatoes until they just turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss immediately in a large bowl with some of the spice mixture. Then place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle them again with some of the spice mixture.
• Hold them in semi-airtight container for a few days, if you can stand it that long.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Pulse 2 cups flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon each sugar and kosher salt in a food processor. Pulse in 6 tablespoons diced cold unsalted butter and 3 sliced scallions until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Pulse in 1 cup sour cream. Form into a 4-by-8-inch rectangle. Cut into eight 2-inch squares. Bake on a baking sheet at 425˚ until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Mince and mash 1 garlic clove with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt into a chunky paste. Whisk the garlic paste, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons chopped chives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into 1/2-tablespoon-size bits and add to the flour. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in all the heavy cream, sour cream and 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon half-and-half.
• Stir the dry ingredients into the cream, then add the chives and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough just begins to come together into a ball. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times to form a cohesive mass. (Do not overwork the dough.)
• Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness. Dip a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter in flour, then cut the dough. Repeat until all the dough has been cut. Scraps can be gathered together and re-rolled one more time.
• Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1/4-inch between them.
• Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining tablespoon half-and-half, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon sugar.
• Bake until lightly browned on top and flaky in the center, about 20 minutes.
