I chop and caramelize one yellow, one red, and one white onion (this just makes me happy, any onions are fine, 3 sweet might even be better) in some butter. When done, I deglaze with balsamic. Let completely cool. Mince a bunch of scallions and perhaps some chives as well. Take a big tub of sour cream and fold in the cooled onions and the scallions/chives. Add salt and pepper to taste. And absolutely do not forget to add the salt and pepper. Taste. Not onion dippy enough? You can add onion powder.
Serve with Ruffles. Or to be fancy, kettle potato chips. Or to be fancier than I've ever been, make your own potato chips.
And then I do a huge thing of nachos too (Cool Ranch Doritoes, shredded cheese, scallions, black beans, jalapenos ... and melt under broiler. Serve with salsa, guac, sour cream.)
