Veggie Chips with Sour Cream & Onion Dip

Veggie Chips With Sour Cream & Onion Dip

Ingredients
  

Veggie Chips

  • Serves 4
  • 1 pound russet potatoes
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes
  • 1 pound red beets
  • Oil for frying
  • Salt as needed

Sour Cream & Onion Dip

  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon finely ground onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons minced chives or green onions
  • ½ teaspoon salt.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oil in a deep fryer or medium saucepan to 300 degrees F.
  • Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and beets. To prevent the red color of the beets from transferring to the other vegetables, hold and fry them separately.
  • Fry the vegetables in batches, one handful at a time to promote even cooking. Occasionally flipping the vegetables over in the oil as they fry. The underside will cook the fastest. Fry until golden brown in color, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. Season immediately with salt.
  • Combine the sour cream, onion powder and green onions. Season with salt and serve chilled with fried veggie chips.
