Samantha did such a great job listening to what we were going to do. Next time I make them I want to make a salt and vinegar chip for my cousin.that's her favorite! See you next time! I think kids can be a big help when you want to make potato chips BUT they need to stay away from the pan when the potatoes go in and are cooking - it is dangerous.ĭo you want to try and make your own potato chips? She taught me how to use it and taught me how to use it safely but she really didn't like me using it since it was old and not that good for kids. We started slicing the cucumbers and it was taking FOREVER when all of a sudden my mom said "oh wait, let me get my mandoline"! After that it went super-fast. I helped her make 62 pounds of her Pulled Pork and then we made 25 pounds of her Sweet and Spicy Cucumbers (they are SO yummy). I learned about using a mandoline because my mom is in charge of doing the father-daughter dance at school each year and this year she decided to do a Luau theme. You can try to slice your potatoes very thin when you want to make chips but using a mandolin makes it SO much easier!! Have you ever used a mandoline before? When you use a mandoline, slicing is easy and fast.so fast you just can't believe it! So I knew I wanted to make them first and eat as many as I could! I think everyone loves potato chips (right?) my favorite is Sour Cream and Onion! My mom doesn't let me get them very much because she says that they have too many ingredients she can't pronounce on the bag. The obvious answer is good, salty potato chips!

The base is sour cream, but it's the dried onion, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and parsley that give it that heavenly onion flavor.Ĭan French onion dip be made ahead of time? The store-bought kind? There's too many ingredients to list. Simply stir some dried herbs and spices into sour cream, and you have a delicious, addicting healthy snack. Making your own French onion dip is a lot simpler than you think. True, this dip isn't an exact replica of store-bought French onion dip. My dad even commented on how good it was. To my surprise, it tasted very close to the pre-packaged dip. Then, I decided to simplify things and just throw some herbs and spices into sour cream (or your substitute for sour cream). They were delicious, but a completely different flavor than the dip my dad loved. The mix was filled with just as many unpronounceable ingredients as the dip itself, so I thought it was a hopeless business. I tried my hand at making caramelized sweet onion dips. My dad insisted that, to make the party dip at home, you had to buy dried onion soup mix. The ingredient list on the store-bought version was long and complicated. When I was a teenager and beginning to take a serious interest in cooking and nutrition, I thought to myself that there must be a way to make my dad's beloved French onion dip more healthy. If the store didn't carry it, it was pretty much the end of the world. I remember him going to the store and selecting a certain brand-it had to be that specific brand or it was no good. If my dad has potato chips, he insists on having French onion dip.
