Ina’s Pan Fried Onion Dip

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Ina Garten’s Pan Fried Onion Dip is perfect for entertaining guests. With chips, of course. And veggies, if you feel it necessary…

It’s just like the onion dip that comes out of a tub in the supermarket, only much much much better.

    We have a restaurant nearby that used to serve something along this line as an appetizer…not the old fashioned kind but with the caramelized onions. They took it off the menu….I complained. 🙂
    I really must try Ina’s recipe, it looks like it might be close, if not better.

    That sounds so good. I agree…chips are a better choice than vegetables. 🙂

    That does look like it would be great for dipping veggies. If I can’t have chips, no one can:))

    This sounds totally delicious!

    I love onions in any guise…and caramelized are always absolutely delicious!

    Thanks for a delightful recipe!

    And…
