A Delicious Veggie and Chip Dip
If you have ever lived in the upper mid-west, chances are you know and love Top The Tater. In my 20 years spent in northern Minnesota, I learned that, like cheese, Top The Tater is a household staple item.
Leaving the upper mid-west means giving up all hope of finding this in any store. If you've never had the opportunity to try this you are missing out on a wonderfully, tasty dip.
It goes great with any veggie or chip and is really good on a baked potato or used in making mashed potatoes.

Notes
*The amount of sour cream you use depends on how thick you want your dip. I find that 1/3 cup will hold up well for chips and veggies. This dip will thicken in the refrigerator as it cools down.
This will last about a week in your refrigerator if using fresh chives and longer if using dry chives, but my guess is you will eat it before then.
