We were invited to a barbecue at our good friend’s house Saturday evening. I wanted to bring something to share so when I was heading out to Sam’s Club, (check out our trip here) I decided to pick up Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries by Heniz and make a dipping sauce for them!
I am fairly new to eating sweet potato fries and wasn’t quite sure what kinds of dips would go well with them. So, I did some research online and found that the choices are endless! There was everything from ketchup to cinnamon sprinkled with yogurt dip to sour cream dips.
Lately I have been craving cilantro so I decided to make a dip that included cilantro, cumin and lime…a combination of some of the ones I found online!
To make the dip:
Put 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup mayonnaise in a bowl.
Rinse and chop a small bunch of fresh cilantro.
Measure 2 tsp of the chopped cilantro into the bowl.
Cut a lime into sections and squeeze out 2 tsp lime juice and add to the bowl.
Add 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ground cumin and 1/4 tsp salt to the bowl and mix all of the ingredients well. Place dip in the fridge until ready to serve.
At the barbecue we ate the Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries by Heniz with grilled chicken and asparagus (along with a bunch of other yummy stuff). The fries and the dip were a big hit! When my friend went to get some fries, she discovered that everyone had completely finished them off already!! Even the kids loved the Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries by Heniz.

this dip is delicious! i just tried it, but instead of sour cream i used plain yogurt because that’s all I had on hand. But it still tastes just as good!
Tonia says
Wonderful! I love hearing that. I actually have some sweet potato fries in my freezer and now I am craving this dip!

Holy cow. I tried this the other night after stumbling on your pizza bundles. I used more lime juice as we LOVE lime…and a bit more cilantro and it was phenomenal. My toddler eats like a bird but kept asking me for spoonfuls of “sour dip.” I tried it on the sweet potato fries, oven baked potato cubed, sauced a hamburger, and used it as a dip with fresh veggies. Thank you so much for an incredible twist on boring dips!

This sounds yummo but I do not like sweet potato fries. I know, I am probably very much alone in that category but I like me my potato fries….I just need to eat less of them…;)

This looks really good!
I love sweet potato fries. I like to put them on a cookie sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. When they are cooked, I put salt, pepper, chili powder and sweetner on them. A little sweet with a kick!
