A favorite indulgent potato chip dip. It's the mild egg flavor with a bit of smoke makes this special. We generally have it as a holiday treat but there's nothing particularly Christmassy about it. Ken says he got the recipe from someone who worked with his Mom around 1960.

  • 1 8oz pkg regular cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/3 cup regular mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp hickory smoked salt
  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp dried marjoram (or basil)
  • 1/2 tsp granulated onion
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp fenugreek (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Chop the eggs in a food processor fairly fine. Put the cream cheese into a wide, shallow bowl. Add the eggs and mayonnaise and mix well with a fork. Add the remaining seasonings and mix again. Enjoy with your favorite chips. This is a mild dip so plain or mild flavored chips are a better choice.

I posted this recipe three years ago but that was me trying to reconstruct it; this better version is from Ken's own hand.
