"One of my favorite dips. I can't take credit for this; but, I did tweak it to my liking. Now, don't get too fancy with this - simply potato chips are great served with it. Also, you can serve baby boiled new potatoes or fingerlings, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, or tomatoes; are some of my favorites. But, chips are still number one in my book. How could this NOT be perfect for a Sat or Sun Game Day. Great to make ahead too, even better if you do. I say a 1 hour cook time - but, that is just to allow the dip to rest and develop the flavors before serving."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Note: Sometimes I like to 'thin' the dip out a bit; or make it a bit 'lighter.' Simply substitute - 3 oz of the cream cheese, for 3 of sour cream. Just as good, just not quite as rich; and, a thinner texture - Same taste.
Step 2
Dip ... Add everything to a small bowl, and mix to combine. Make sure to grate the shallot over the bowl, so you can get all the juice (liquid). Cover with plastic wrap; and, refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. It is even better the longer it sets.
Step 3
Serve and ENJOY! ... As mentioned, I love simple potato chips; but, boiled new potatoes or fingerlings, cauliflower, broccoli, scallions, asparagus, tomatoes, etc, are all excellent. A great party dip! I do like to let this rest at least 1 hour before serving if possible. It only gets better.
