How to Make Baked Potato Dip

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup crumbled bacon, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into an oven-safe dish.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. (Note: If using low-fat ingredients, reduce baking time to prevent drying out).
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite potato chips, tortilla chips, or vegetables.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
