- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp salt, divided
- 2 tsp pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Sauce:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sour cream

How to make it:
Bloomin’ Onion:
- In a food processor, pulse Lay’s® Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips to make finely crushed crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in bread crumbs and set aside.
- Slice top of each onion. Peel and discard outermost layer of onion, leaving the root intact (this will keep the bloomin’ onion together). Set an onion on a cutting board. Keeping base intact and without cutting all the way through, cut into 8 to 10 sections. Gently pull the cut onion sections apart to separate into petals, resembling a flower. Repeat with remaining onion.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 2 tsp salt and pepper. In another medium bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.
- One at a time, dredge each onion in flour mixture, making sure that the onion is completely covered, especially between the petals. Dip onion cut-side down and submerge in egg mixture. Dredge in crushed chip mixture until well and evenly coated. Let stand for 10 minutes to set coating.
- Meanwhile, fill a medium saucepan halfway up the sides with oil. Heat oil to 320°F, or until shimmering, over medium-low heat. Using a large slotted spoon or long tongs, place one breaded onion cut-side down into hot oil. Deep-fry for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown all over. Drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining onion. Season with remaining 1 tsp salt.
Sauce:
- Whisk together garlic, sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, mustard, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper until blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve bloomin’ onions with sauce for dipping.
Tip: If onions are small, use four smaller onions instead of two large.
