Variations on Homemade Chip Dip
I prefer to use full-fat sour cream, cream cheese, and mayo for this dip, but you can use reduced fat if you prefer. You could also swap the sour cream for plain or Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
How to Store
This sour cream and onion dip will keep well in the fridge for around 3 days, but it’s doubtful it will last that long! Keep it covered with plastic wrap or in a sealable container to keep it fresh. It’s such a perfect make-ahead app.
It’s best not to freeze it as sour cream can become quite grainy when thawed.
Serving Suggestions
No surprise here, this homemade chip dip is perfect to serve with…. chips! Classic potato chips, crunchy tortilla chips, baked sweet potato chips, or crispy wonton chips are all great choices. It has the perfect scoopable consistency whilst not being too heavy.
It’s great with crudite too, or use it as a dip for fries or spread on to your favorite burger or sandwich.

Becky’s Tips
- For a garlic dip, simply swap the onion powder for garlic powder.
- Soften the cream cheese before using so it’s easy to make smooth. I like to take mine out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before I plan to make this dip.
