Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Add the diced onions and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Mix in the fresh thyme and cook for another 2-3 minutes to release its aroma.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper; whisk until smooth.
  5. Fold the caramelized onion mixture into the creamy base, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to meld flavors.
  7. Serve chilled with potato chips and enjoy!

Notes

For perfect caramelization, stir frequently and maintain medium heat. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and consumed within three days for best taste.
