Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 large yellow onions (1 3/4 lb. total), thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1/2 c. (4 oz.) cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 c. (4 oz.) sour cream
1/3 c. mayonnaise
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. sliced chives
Potato chips, such as Ruffles, for serving

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Swirl in oil. Add onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to break down and soften, 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and deeply caramelized, 40 to 55 minutes more. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool completely.
Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper. Top with chives. Serve with chips alongside.
