Sour Cream And Onion Snack Recipes

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-ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 370 degrees F.
• Whisk together the sour cream and onion dip mix, 2 teaspoons of the onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder in a large bowl (large enough to use for dredging). Set aside 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture for later. To the mixture in the bowl, stir in 1/4 cup of the flour. Set aside.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup flour, the cornstarch, remaining 2 teaspoons onion powder, the salt, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Add the seltzer and sour cream and whisk until just smooth. Stir in the chives. The batter should be the consistency of thick paint.
• Add the onion rings to the seasoned flour and toss to lightly coat. Working in 2 batches, dredge the floured rings in the batter, letting the excess drip back in the bowl, and add to the oil. Fry, flipping occasionally, until very crisp and deep golden, about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• While still hot, season the onion rings with the reserved sour cream and onion seasoning mixture. Serve immediately, with ketchup.

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.
