black bowl of sweet potato fries and dip, with fry being dipped into white bowl of dip

This dipping sauce for sweet potato fries is seriously next level! I tried this dip at Moxie's, fell in love with it and just had to create my own copycat version. This Garlic Mayo Dipping Sauce is the ideal dip for sweet potato fries. It has a creamy texture and the perfect blend of spices and herbs. It also makes a great snack or side dish and is quick and easy to prepare.

This dip was inspired by my sweet potato fries (also a Moxie's copycat)! By far, this is the best dipping sauce for sweet potato fries I have ever tasted! However, this is the perfect condiment for pairing with any fries, such as regular potato fries, carrot fries or parsnip fries.

  • 📋Garlic Mayo Dipping Sauce for Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

When I set out to make my own copycat recipe it was solely based on memory. And I’m proud to say that after a few attempts, this was the delicious result. My family also thinks it's really close to the original and it was a big hit! It is one of our favorite recipes and frequently requested in our house.

🥘Ingredients

For this sweet potato dipping sauce, you'll need:

ingredients in sweet potato fries dip in glass bowls, labelled (on blue surface)
  • ½ cup sour cream * I use low-fat
  • ¼ cup cup mayonnaise * I use Hellman's low-fat
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tsp white wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp white granulated sugar
  • Spices (see photo below)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne

🔪Instructions

Mix it all together in a small bowl!

For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the garlic to blend in (optional).

There are few recipes that I will go to all that effort for because, to be honest, creating a copycat recipe is a heck of a lot more work than simply developing a recipe from scratch! So for me to expel all that energy, it’s gotta be damn tasty or at least have some serious nostalgia associated with it.

My copycat Moxie's Grilled Steak Salad (shown below) is one of those recipes, as well as a lighter version of IHOP's Harvest Grain & Nut Pancakes I created, Calgary Ginger Beef  and my copycat of Bonanza's Monterey Chicken. But creating this garlic mayo sauce for sweet potato fries was well worth the time and effort!

📖Variations & Substitutions

  • Chives: I recommend using fresh chives, as they are critical to the flavor of the dip. But if for some reason, you can't get your hands on them, substitute freeze- dried chives.
  • Lemon juice- Use fresh! But if you can't get your hand on fresh lemon juice for some reason, use only half the amount of concentrated lemon juice.
  • White pepper - you can substitute black pepper in a pinch
  • Sour Cream - you could substitute plain Greek yogurt
  • Spicy - add additional cayenne, chili powder, Cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes or a little hot sauce (such as sriracha sauce) for a spicy kick

💭What to eat with this dip?

Although pairing this dip with homemade sweet potato fries or sweet potato wedges is the perfect combination, you can eat it with any type of fries, including :

  • regular fries
  • parsnip fries
  • carrot fries

🍽Equipment

To make this sauce for sweet potato fries, you will need a sharp knife, a cutting board, a garlic press and juicer (affiliate links) will also come in handy.

🌡️Storage

Store this dip in an airtight container for up to 4 days. However, if you're just storing it overnight, then you can simply cover it in plastic wrap. These ingredients do not stand up to freezing.

👪 Serving Size

This fry sauce recipe makes 6 servings. However, you can half, double or triple the recipe by clicking on the blue serving number and selecting the number of servings you'd like. The ingredient quantities will automatically adjust.

🔢WW Points

This yummy dip can be made even more Weight Watchers friendly by using non-fat sour cream and fat-free mayonnaise, instead of regular mayo. I would also recommend using my air fryer sweet potato fries recipe. They are the best sweet potato fries you'll ever have!

If you are looking for sweet potato fries dipping sauce recipes, you'll love this one!
