For best flavor, let the dip rest longer—up to a few hours or overnight—so the dried onions fully soften and the seasonings blend into the sour cream and mayonnaise base; always use full‑fat dairy for better texture, taste, and stability, and if the dip becomes too thick after chilling, you can loosen it with a tablespoon or two of milk or buttermilk while carefully adjusting salt; keep the dip refrigerated and discard any leftovers that have sat out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, and feel free to customize by adding smoked paprika, cayenne, shredded cheese, or finely chopped herbs to match your taste or the style of chips you’re serving.
