Simple and easy claim dip for the holidays
Methods:
1 can of chopped drained clams
Lauwry’s seasoning salt (about ½ - 1 tsp ...taste) Don't sub. if possible
1-pint sour cream (12 – 15 ounces ...varies today in the markets)
7 ounces of large curd cottage cheese (optional)
Drain the canned clams and mix, let set and chill before serving.
Be careful not to use too much salt in the dip because the clams and potatoes chips are salty enough. The recipe is basic, cheap and simple. Their has never been guest who did not like it and its my three daughters favorite. They all prefer the added cottage cheese.
