             Recipe Summary
            Prep Time: 30 minutesCook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
            Inactive Prep Time: 3 hoursYield: 4 cups
      3 medium onions, 2 unpeeled, 1 peeled 
      1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 
      2 cups mayonnaise 
      1/2 cup sour cream 
      1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 
      2 teaspoons kosher salt 
      2 scallions (white and green parts), minced 
      Freshly ground black pepper 
      Hot pepper sauce 
      Potato chips, for serving
      Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 
      Rub unpeeled onions with a bit of the olive oil; roast until soft, about 
      45 minutes. Cool and peel. 
      Finely dice the peeled raw onion. Heat a large skillet over medium-high 
      heat; add remaining oil and heat until quite hot. Add diced onion and 
      cook, stirring occasionally, until edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. 
      Turn to medium-low and cook until onion is golden brown, about 18 minutes. 
      Scrape onion, oil, and juices into a sieve over a bowl. Drain onions and 
      spread on a paper towel-lined plate. Cool the strained oil. 
      Puree roasted onions in a food processor. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, 
      vinegar, and salt; pulse until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in 
      1/4 cup of the flavored reserved oil. Transfer to a serving bowl. Stir in 
      scallions, pepper, and hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. 
      Scatter the fried onions over the top just before serving with potato 
      chips.
