    🥘 Sweet Potato Fry Dipping Sauce Ingredients, Notes, & Substitutions

    This creamy and flavorful dipping sauce can be whipped up in minutes with just a few ingredients. It's super easy to customize and make substitutions, too!

    • Mayonnaise - ¼ cup of mayonnaise (I prefer Dukes or Best Foods) or a  mayonnaise substitute. You could also use homemade mayonnaise!
    • Dijon Mustard - 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard or a Dijon mustard substitute.
    • Maple Syrup - 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, a maple syrup substitute, or honey for sweetness.
    • Garlic Powder - ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
    • Salt & Pepper - ¼ teaspoon each of salt & pepper (to taste).

    *Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!*

    🔪 How To Make Sweet Potato Fry Dip

    In just 3 simple steps, you'll have a tasty condiment for sweet potato fries (and more)! You will need your measuring utensils, a mixing bowl, and a whisk to get started.

    This recipe makes ½ cup of sauce with 1 tablespoon per serving (there are 8 tablespoons in ½ cup, so 8 servings). It's super easy to double the recipe for larger crowds, too!

    Sweet Potato Fry Dipping Sauce

    Step 1: Combine the ingredients. Combine ingredients (¼ cup (56 grams) of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons (29.57 milliliters) of maple syrup, ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) of garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon (1.5 grams) each of salt & pepper) in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.

    Step 2: Chill. Refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors meld before serving (if time allows).

    Step 3: Serve. Transfer into a serving dish or individual sauce cups to serve with your sweet potato fries.

    🍽️ What To Serve With Sweet Potato Fry Dip

    Of course, you can serve this creamy and flavorful dip with baked sweet potato fries (or frozen air fryer sweet potato fries if you're in a hurry)! But that's not all!

    This sauce is also delicious on chicken tenders, classic french fries, tater tots, and more! Enjoy!

    💭 Tips & Notes

    • For a dairy-free dipping sauce, swap out the mayonnaise for vegan mayo or any plant-based mayonnaise.
    • If you aren't a fan of mayo, you can swap it out for sour cream or Greek Yogurt. 
    • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, a dash of hot sauce, or ½ tablespoon of sambal oelek to give your sauce a little kick!
    • The total yield is ½ cup. Each serving is 1 tablespoon for nutritional calculations.

    🥡 Storing

    Keep your sweet potato fry dipping sauce refrigerated in an air-tight storage container for up to 3-4 days. I don't recommend freezing this sauce because it is mayonnaise-based and will affect the texture.

    ❓ FAQ

    Can I Freeze Sweet Potato Fry Dipping Sauce?

    While you can technically freeze this sauce, the high mayonnaise content means the texture won't be as rich and creamy when thawed. To freeze, put the sauce in an airtight container or Ziploc bag and freeze it for up to 1 month. Let it thaw in the fridge and stir well before serving.

    Is Sweet Potato Fry Dip Spicy?

    The recipe isn't spicy as written, though adding something with a little heat is always an option! A splash of hot sauce, red chili paste (gochujang), red pepper flakes, or even just a dash of paprika is a great way to balance the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.

    Can I Use Miracle Whip To Make Sweet Potato Fry Dipping Sauce?

    If you don't have mayo on hand or prefer not to use it, I would try sour cream or Greek yogurt over Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip is much sweeter than mayonnaise and may be too sweet with the added maple syrup (plus the sweet potatoes are naturally sweet). If you do try it, be sure to come back and let me know how it turns out!
