Instructions
COOK ONIONS:
In a large, 12-inch skillet over medium heat melt butter.
Add onions, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¾ teaspoon pepper, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
Add half the water to skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until water is evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Add remaining water and cook until onions are caramelized and water is evaporated, about 5 minutes longer.
COOL ONIONS:
Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Scrape onions to medium bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
MIX DIP:
Add sour cream to onions and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
CHILL AND SERVE:
Chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Top with sliced chives and serve!
