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.

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:
- 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
