One of my aunts makes a really good Dill Dip that's also great over baked potatoes. I finally made it myself recently, and we had it over baked potatoes for dinner one night. I took a pic with the leftovers the next day- it's also super good as a chip dip. I'm going to make it in a few days for one of our New Year's Eve appetizers, and we'll dip veggies into it so we can feel a little bit virtuous as we're stuffing our faces with other unhealthy things. I'm also planning on using light sour cream (but regular mayo).
Besides dried dill weed, a very important flavor in this dip is Beau Monde seasoning. One doesn't see this around much anymore, and I of course can't get it over here. I looked into ordering it online and it was SUPER expensive. So I looked up a recipe to make my own, and it's SUPER easy, and I had everything I needed at home already. The ingredients are just onion powder, celery salt, and sugar. That's it!!! I'm glad I looked it up, because I've made this in the past without Beau Monde and it's just not as good. I'll include the recipe below. (I came across a ton of recipes with weird stuff like cloves and cinnamon, and that is NOT the Beau Monde I know and love. The recipe below is just right.)
Dill Dip
from my Aunt M.L.
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayo
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon Beau Monde seasoning, recipe below
1. Combine all ingredients. You can let it sit in the fridge for a few hours for the flavors to come together, but it's good right away too. You can serve over baked potatoes, or use as a chip or veggie dip.
