Kitchen tips

This recipe tastes better the longer you let the spices marinate! For best flavors, chill it for at least 2-3 hours before serving, or overnight.

This dip is so flavorful, and I love it because it uses all spices that can be found in the spice aisle. Garlic powder, minced onion, dill, chives, and parsley give this potato chip dip so much flavor!

Serving It

This chip dip tastes great with so many dippers! Here are some ideas for you to serve with it.

  • Ruffle chips: these are our favorite as they are sturdy and hold up well to a good dip!
  • Baked chips or crackers
  • Mini pretzels
  • Cucumbers
  • Baby carrots
  • Broccoli
  • Sliced bell pepper
  • Cherry tomatoes

How long can a sour cream dip sit out?

It is recommended that sour cream based dips are not left outside of the fridge past two hours. Just be sure to cover it back up and stick it in the fridge before that amount of time.

This recipe is perfect for just about anything. Serve it up and watch it disappear.

How To Store Leftovers

This chip dip is good for 5-7 days in the refrigerator, if it lasts that long! I find it disappears very quickly in my house. It’s great for a late night snack once the kids are in bed!
