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.
