Best Sweet Potato Fries with Honey Mustard Sauce

ADVERTISEMENT


🍯 Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

While your fries are cooking, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, mayo, and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust to taste—more honey for sweetness, more mustard for tang.

Refrigerate the sauce for a few minutes to let the flavors meld. Bonus: it gets even better the longer it sits!


📝 Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Fries

  • Don’t skip soaking: This reduces starch and helps achieve that golden-brown crisp.
  • Cornstarch = crunch: Just a light dusting gives you that irresistible crispy coating.
  • Spread them out: Crowding the fries on the pan traps steam and leads to soggy fries.
  • Serve immediately: Like most fries, sweet potato fries are best hot and fresh out of the oven or air fryer.

🍽 How to Serve

These sweet potato fries pair beautifully with burgers, grilled chicken, or even as an appetizer for game day or a casual get-together. They’re also a great option for kids and picky eaters, thanks to their natural sweetness and fun dip.

Serve with:

  • Honey mustard sauce (of course)
  • Ranch dressing
  • Spicy mayo
  • Ketchup (for the purists)

💡 Variations & Add-Ins

  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder to the fries for a little kick.
  • Add parmesan: After baking, toss fries with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
  • Try different sauces: Switch up the dip with sriracha aioli, BBQ sauce, or even Greek yogurt mixed with lime and herbs.
