Best Sweet Potato Fries with Honey Mustard Sauce – Page 2

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.
