1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons minced chives
2 Tablespoons diced onion

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil.  Add
flours, parsley, garlic powder and salt all at once; stir until a
smooth ball forms.  Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes.  Beat
in eggs, one at a time.  Beat until smooth. Drop batter by rounded
teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.  Sprinkle with
caraway.

Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until golden.  Remove to wire
racks.  Immediately cut a slit in each puff to allow steam to escape;
cool.  In a mixing bowl, combine the first eight filling ingredients;
mix well.   Split puff; add filling; refrigerate. Makes 4  1/2 dozen.
