Ingredients

  • 16 ounces sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Potato chips or veggie sticks for serving

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
  • Add the dried parsley, dried dill, garlic powder, and dried minced onion. Stir until well combined.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours) to allow flavors to blend.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with potato chips, crackers, or veggie sticks.

Notes

  • Chill for best flavor: The dip tastes good right away, but the flavors really come together after chilling. Make it ahead if you can.
  • Use full-fat sour cream: It gives you the best texture and flavor. Knudsen is my go-to brand.
  • Fresh herbs: If using fresh dill or parsley instead of dried, double the amount.
  • Best chips for dipping: Kettle-style potato chips or ridged chips like Ruffles hold up best.
  • Too bland? Add more garlic powder, salt, or dried onion to taste.
  • Too tangy? A tiny pinch of sugar can help balance the sour cream.
  • Too thick? Stir in another tablespoon of mayo or a splash of milk.
  • Make ahead: Prepare up to 24 hours in advance. Keep covered in the fridge.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
  • Don't freeze: Sour cream and mayo don't freeze well. Cut the recipe in half if you won't use it all.
