    Sweet Potato Fry Sauce

    I love sweet potato fries! They're sweet, tender, and utterly delicious - making them is a perfect way to use up extra sweet potatoes from the holidays. And there's no better way to compliment a basket of toasty fries than the best dipping sauce for sweet potato fries!

    This sour cream sweet potato fry sauce is perfect. Ketchup can be too sweet for already sweet fries, and mayo is too mild; but sour cream is just right. It's creamy, tangy and just sour enough to balance the sweetness of the fries, and adding in sriracha and extra seasonings makes it have a wonderful full flavor!

    And don't worry about it taking a while to make! With just a handful of easy ingredients and two steps to make, it'll be ready in minutes and easily stored for dinner! Try it out, and you'll understand why it's my favorite sweet potato fry dipping sauce!

    Sweet Potato Dipping Sauce Tips

    • Don't have any sour cream on hand? Unsweetened Greek Yogurt makes a perfect substitute with a very similar flavor.
    • If your sour cream is especially thick, you can make this sauce thinner by adding a splash of cream or water. This is especially handy for thinner, more delicate fries!
    • Don't feel limited to just using this on fries! I love to put a dollop of this easy dipping sauce for sweet potato fries on any kind of sweet potato dish. It's a great way to spruce up Thanksgiving Leftovers!
    • For an extra boost of flavor, try swapping the paprika out for smoked paprika! The rich, smokey flavor is just incredible!

    Sweet Potato Fry Sauce FAQs

    How can I spice up sweet potatoes?

    Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, so the best way to add a little spice is with a coating and topping it off with a dip. Try seasoning sweet potatoes with paprika, chili powder and garlic powder, then add sriracha and sour cream to the dip for an extra kick of flavor.

    What flavors go well with sweet potatoes?

    There are two classic flavor profiles paired with sweet potatoes: sweet, and spicy. Sweet flavors typically lean into brown sugar and maple with earthy, rich flavors. For fries, spicy, tart flavors balance out how sweet the potatoes themselves are.
