Not only does this sweet potato fry sauce have a lovely savory flavor, but it's also rich and creamy. The mayo base is key in this recipe to achieve the best consistency ever. It's lightly seasoned as well, so it doesn't come off too salty. You can even use it for regular French fries, chicken nuggets, and more!

I don't recommend it. It separates and becomes watery and grainy.
If you add too much ketchup, it results in a thinner sauce. Add more mayo to thicken it.
Make sure you use good-quality mayo for this recipe and avoid overmixing it, which can cause it to split.
