FAQs

Can I make the dip ahead of time?

Yes, homemade potato chip dip can be made ahead of time. In fact, it's often better to make it a few hours in advance or even the day before to allow the flavors to develop. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?

Yes, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream to create a lighter, tangier dip. Use the same amount of Greek yogurt as you would sour cream.

What can I serve with homemade potato chip dip besides potato chips?

Vegetables: Carrot sticks, celery sticks, bell pepper strips, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes
Crackers: Assorted crackers, pretzels, pita chips
Bread: Toasted baguette slices, breadsticks

Can I make a healthier version of this dip?

Yes, for a healthier version, you can:
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
Use light mayonnaise or reduced-fat cream cheese

Top Tips

  • Most dips benefit from some time in the refrigerator before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop. Aim to chill your dip for at least 30 minutes, if not longer.
  • Just before serving, garnish your sour cream dip with a sprinkle of extra seasoning, fresh herbs, cheddar cheese, or green onions to enhance both the presentation and flavor.
  • If you're serving a communal dip, provide small serving utensils or encourage guests to use their chips or vegetables to scoop the dip onto their plates. This helps maintain the freshness of the dip and ensures good hygiene.
  • Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or covered tightly with plastic wrap for a few days. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving any leftovers.

How to make Potato Chip Dip

  1. Prepare the simple chip dip: In a large mixing bowl, mix sour cream, dried onions, dried chives, salt, garlic powder, dill weed, and dried parsley, until smooth.
