    Crispy sweet potato fries are a regular side dish in our house but what takes them to the next level is this flavorful sauce. We love making this sweet potatoe fry dip because it:

    • Adds a punch of extra flavor.
    • Fast and easy. Just 5 simple ingredients.
    • Can be stored and used throughout the week.

    What is fry sauce?

    Fry sauce was made popular in Utah, Idaho, and even some areas in Oregon. The simple recipe is basically mixing together mayonnaise and ketchup to make a pink colored sauce. There are many versions of this recipe, we love making this particular one to use as a sweet potato fry dip.

    Ingredients needed

    Mayonnaise – Use your favorite mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.

    Chili Sauce – Chili sauce adds great flavor to the sauce. You can find chili sauce in the condiment aisle, usually close to the ketchup. I like using the Heinz chili sauce but you could substitute with sriracha if you want added spice.

    If you don’t like chili sauce, substitute with ketchup.

    Pickle Juice – This adds a little extra punch of tang. You can scoop a few teaspoons out of your pickle jar to mix in the sauce.

    Paprika and Ground Black Pepper – Simple seasoning for the sauce.

    How to make sweet potato fries dipping sauce

    Step one: Place mayonnaise, chili sauce, pickle juice, paprika, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.

    Bowl with mayo, chili sauce, and seasonings.

    Step two: Stir the ingredients until completely combine.

    Sauce variations

    Base – If you don’t like mayonnaise, try substitute with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

    Spices – Like a little added heat? Try mixing in a pinch of cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, or even Cajun seasoning. You could also try adding a little garlic powder for a stronger garlic flavor.

    Juice – The pickle juice is optional. You could try substituting with a teaspoon of lemon juice, vinegar, or even a little horseradish.

    How to serve

    You don’t have to serve this fry sauce with just sweet potato french fries. It goes will with many dishes like:

    • Sweet potato wedges
    • French Fries
    • Drizzled over vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.
    • On hamburgers or wraps.

    How to store

    Store this sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for a week in the refrigerator. Make sure to give it a stir before serving.

    This sauce does not freeze well because the mayonnaise will separate.
