BEER AND HONEY POTATO CHIPS WITH ONION DIP

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz bag of Salted Kettle Chips (I use Boulder Sea Salt, but any kettle fried chip should work)
  • 1 bottle of your favorite beer (if it is a bitter beer, then your chips will taste like that, so I recommend a mild tasting beer-but that is up to you)
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 T honey
  • 3/4 t salt

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 with rack in the lowest position. Pour beer into a pot. Let it simmer until it is reduced to 1/4 of a cup. This doesn’t take long. Now add your butter and honey and stir until it is melted. Stir in salt. Now cut open the bag of chips. Pour this over the top. Close top while you shake gently to distribute the butter mixture. Pour onto a parchment lined baking sheet in a sort of single layer. Toss well, to make sure butter is distributed. Bake on the lowest rack for 20 minutes total, tossing at the 10 minute point. I love the extra crisp brown ones, but not everyone in my family agrees. These keep well in a sealed zip lock bag-that is if you have any to keep!

The Best – No Kidding – Onion Dip
Serves 8-10
Time To Make – About 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese – light or not
1/3 c sour cream – light or not
4 green onions chopped
1/4 of a large onion
1 good dash of Worcestershire sauce (Gives some zing!)
1 good squeeze anchovy paste (This doesn’t make it taste like anchovies. It just gives it some salt.)
1/4 of a large onion chopped finely
Directions:
Place all ingredients except the chopped onion into a food processor. Process until is combined and creamy. Check for seasoning. You may want to add more Worcestershire or anchovy paste at this point, but that is up to you! Stir in chopped onion and if you want this creamier, you could even add 1-2 T of mayo. Chill in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors come together. But that is up to you! Just remember to share!
