What to Dip Sweet Potato Fries In?
So many flavors go well with the savory, sweet, & salty flavor of sweet potato fries. The most popular dips are either spicy, creamy, or salty. Why go with just ketchup when you can have a gourmet dipping sauce?
I find that a combination of one or both of those flavors is key. This is why I created 2 different recipes from scratch.
Ingredients for Sweet Potato Fry Dipping Sauces
To make these yummy recipes, you only need a few staples. These are common ingredients you likely already have in your house. I am sharing 2 recipes, both require just 3 ingredients.
All the flavors go well with sweet potato fries. There is the best sweet and tangy maple mustard sauce. Plus a cool and spicy Siracha sour cream ranch combination that's perfect to dip your sweet potato fries in. Both of these dips have no mayonnaise.
Maple Mustard Dip Ingredients
This maple mustard dipping sauce is sweet, spicy, sticky, & tangy. Here is what you will need to make this recipe.
- Maple syrup - the sweet item that is sticky & great for flavor & clinging to the fries.
- Whole-grain mustard - a kick of flavor & texture with the mustard seeds.
- Dijon mustard - great spicy flavor & creamy texture.
Siracha Sour Cream Ranch Dip Ingredients
The Siracha Ranch dipping sauce is cool, creamy, spicy, & herby. Here is what you will need to make this recipe.
- Siracha hot sauce - for spicy heat.
- Ranch seasoning mix - the classic by Hidden Valley is the best.
- Sour cream - the creamy base for this dipping sauce & mellows out the hot flavor.
How to Make the Homemade Dipping Sauces
Here are the easy steps for making sweet potato fry dipping sauces at home. For each dip, you need to gather the ingredients listed above.
In a small bowl, add the ingredients. Then with a small whisk, whisk to combine until each is smooth and fully incorporated.
Taste test each & adjust flavors to your own personal preference. Make it more spicy or less sweet. The recipes are simple, versatile, & customizable which makes them the best fry dip ever.
What Else Can I Dip Besides Fries?
Besides sweet potato fries, these two homemade gourmet dips pair well with other things. They are also a great condiment served with air fryer crinkle fries & gluten-free chicken nuggets. Try enjoying them with any of the following:
- Air Fryer Fish Sticks

Variations & Substitutions
Here are some great recipe variations & ingredient substitutions that can be made.
- Sriracha - use your favorite hot sauce instead
- Sour Cream - use mayo or Greek yogurt instead
- Dairy-Free/Vegan - use plant-based mayo instead of sour cream
- Maple Syrup - use honey instead
- Mustards - use your favorite, even mild yellow mustard instead
- Extra Spicy - add 1/16 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to either dip
- Mild - use ½ tablespoon of Sriracha & add ½ tablespoon of ketchup
- Cinnamon - add a sprinkle to the maple dip
Storing Dipping Sauces
Both of these dips can be made ahead of time. They store well & safely in the refrigerator in an air-tight container with a lid. It will last for 7 days. I do not recommend freezing either dipping sauce.

Theses dips were the best. I made them both for my husband and is friends for college football today since we ordered burgers and sweet potato fries to be delivered. Well I made them twice actually. They ate them both so fast I made a second batch. They were even dipping the pork rinds in them too.Reply
Angela says
Oh, I love pork rinds. I must try these dips with them next time, great idea.

I made the maple mustard and it was very good. I had extra and I admit I ate the last few bits with a spoon to not go to waste. Yes I did that and I am not ashamed one bit 🙂Reply
