Whether you're prepping for the big game, an Oscars watch party, or a family cookout, a nostalgic snack is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Our friends at Delish lent us their sour cream and onion deviled egg recipe, which turns that classic chip flavor into a creamy, party-ready bite everyone will fight over.

We're happy to say this is a surprisingly easy appetizer to throw together when you're equipped with a piping bag. After boiling a dozen eggs, you'll scoop out the yolks and mix them with sour cream and mayo. Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and fresh chives — they'll provide plenty of punch. Pipe the yolk mixture into your egg whites and serve topped with more chives. Crush some sour cream and onion potato chips and use the bits to garnish each egg — this step is optional, but it ties the whole bite together. The result is a luxurious, savory, game-day nibble that looks impressive but couldn’t be easier to pull off.

Sour Cream & Onion Deviled Eggs Recipe

Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • Ice
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise 
  • 2 Tbsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp. thinly sliced chives, plus more for sprinkling
  • ¼ cup sour cream & onion chips, broken into bits

Equipment Needed

  • A piping bag, a large star tip

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. (For 12 eggs, use about 4 qt. water.) Using a slotted spoon or tongs, gently lower eggs, one at a time, into water. Return to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12 minutes.
  2. A few minutes before eggs are cooked, fill a large bowl with about 4 cups ice and about 6 cups water. Transfer eggs to ice bath. Let sit for about 30 seconds
  3. Using the back of a spoon, tap each egg, making sure to tap all over shell. (Alternatively, you can tap and roll the eggs on a counter; keep in mind not to tap the eggs too hard!) Return cracked eggs to ice bath and let sit 5 minutes. Peel eggs under a thin stream of cool running water, or peel while still in ice water.
  4. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop yolks into a medium bowl; reserve egg whites. Add sour cream and mayonnaise to egg yolks. Using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat yolk mixture until smooth. Add onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and beat until incorporated. Fold in chives. 
  5. Arrange reserved egg whites on a platter. Transfer filling to piping bag fitted with star tip. Pipe filling into egg whites.
  6. Top with more chives and chip bits. Serve immediately.
