I love sweet potato fries but I love them even more when they are paired with a tasty dip. Personally, I don’t love sweet dips with my sweet potato fries, it is too sugary and drowns out the flavor of the fries. I decided to create my own dream dip, something creamy with lots of flavor and a little bit of a kick. I love how this dip turned out and it’s the only one I use now.With the combination of chipotle powder, lime and other spices, it balances out the sweetness of the potatoes to perfection. And it’s actually pretty mild as far as hotness, just loaded with flavor. Of course, you can make it as spicy as you’d like. Try this spicy chipotle dip the next time you’re craving sweet potato fries. So good!

Recipe Tips for Sweet Potato Fries Dip
This sweet potato fries dip mixture is my absolute favorite! It is full of all the flavors with a beautiful orange color that looks as delicious as it tastes. And it’s really easy to throw together!
Extra heat – For extra heat, add a few shakes of cayenne pepper, sriracha sauce, or your favorite hot sauce. Lime flavor – You can sub out the fresh lime for a couple of tablespoons of lime juice from a bottle, but I think the fresh lime juice tastes better. Sweetness – It sounds crazy but to lower the heat and add a little more sweetness, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar to have a sweet addition to this dipping sauce. Reduce the calories! Keep calories down by using light mayo, or substitute all or part of the mayonnaise for light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. Storing – Cover up any leftover dip and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. It does not do well frozen.
