Directions

Make chips: Toss potatoes in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of oil, and pepper until well coated. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Arrange potato slices in 1 layer on 2 cookie sheets. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until chips are crisped and lightly browned. Remove from oven, season with salt and cool.

Make dip: Heat oil over medium heat and add onions and scallion whites. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown and soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

If using regular yogurt, place it in a strainer lined with a paper towel and set the strainer over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain and thicken for 20 minutes.

Combine onions with thickened or Greek-style yogurt, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and scallion greens and stir well to incorporate. Chill for 1 hour to let flavors meld. Serve with chips.

    My mandolin wouldn't cut evenly. One side of the potato was always thinner than the other. When I cooked the first batch, I didn't preheat the oven and only left them in for 15 min. The thin side was brown and the thick side was just barely cooked. The second batch, the oven was already heated up, so I left them in for only 10 minutes. They were all burnt and the brown/burnt side always stuck to the aluminum foil. I just did one potato with 2 tsp olive oil as a test. I filled two cookie sheets plus had some left over that I just pan fried, in my iron skillet, without adding any additional oil.
