Dipping Sauce for Sweet Potato Fries

This dipping sauce for sweet potato fries is creamy and full of flavor. This addicting dip with sour cream and mayo is perfect for parties!

We were invited to a barbecue at our good friend’s house on Saturday evening. I wanted to bring something to share so I decided to bring sweet potato fries and 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 sweet potato fries by with grilled chicken and asparagus. 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 them.

    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!

    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!
