    Dipping Sauces for Sweet Potato Fries

    Jump to Recipe

    These recipes for the two best dipping sauces for sweet potato fries are both fantastic & easy to make. Each dip is a wonderful combination of 3 simple ingredients & takes only 1 minute to make. Will you go for the spicy ranch or a sweet & savory combination? I suggest whipping up both & get dipping.

    Having two homemade dipping sauces that go well with fries makes eating them even more fun and tasty. These dipping sauces go perfectly with my recipe for homemade deep-fried sweet potato fries. They are also a great condiment served with air fryer crinkle fries & gluten-free chicken nuggets.

    Ingredients for Two 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 ranch combination that's perfect to dip your sweet potato fries in.

    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
    • Whole-grain mustard
    • Dijon mustard
    3 ingredients maple syrup dijon whole grain mustard and dijon mustard

    Siracha 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
    • Ranch seasoning mix
    • Sour cream
    3 ingredients siracha and sour cream and ranch seasoning

    How to Make Dipping Sauce Recipes

    Here are the easy steps for making homemade sweet potato fry dipping sauces.  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 it each is smooth and fully incorporated.

    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

    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.

    What to Serve with Sweet Potato Fries & Dip

    Here are some great main courses or other appetizers that are great to serve with this recipe. 

    Instant Pot Chicken Wings
    The best Instant Pot chicken wings recipe is so easy & yummy. Fall-off-the-bone buffalo chicken wings will please any crowd. The cooking liquid secret adds so much flavor. These spicy wings are keto-approved, low-carb, & diabetic-friendly.

    Smoked Beef Short Ribs
    The best way to make short ribs in my mind is in the smoker.  The low and slow method of smoking meat breaks down the meat and renders the fat for the most delicate fall-off-the-bone short ribs you will have ever had.

    Tender beef and melty cheese are delicious in this iconic sandwich, easy enough to make at home. This is the best Philly Cheesesteak using Trader Joe's Shaved Beef Steak.

      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.

      Both of these dips were so flavorful and delicious!! I think the Sriracha one was my personal favorite but both of these were so much more fun to use than traditional ketchup for my fries!

      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 🙂
