This was fantastic! I also included spears of eggplant and broccoli stalks with the yam fries and everything was so good! I think I even like the eggplant more than the yams- I recommend trying this with any vegetable you have on hand. I didn't have any sour cream, so I used plain, full-fat yogurt. I also just eyeballed the spices to put in there, so I can't say how the dip in the posted recipe compares but mine turned out GREAT. I wanted to eat it by the spoonful! This recipe is so easy to make and super versatile, not to mention healthy! I rarely review recipes I use on here, but this one was so great, I had to rave.

Delicious!!! Dip is amazing (didn't have taco seasoning, so used old bay seafood seasoning instead - with no paprika either) The yams I left thicker chunks and cooked a bit longer, 25 mins as recipe said, then up to 400 and didn't time, but was probably another 20 mins. In fact, I think I'm going to have tonight. THANKS!!

I would make this again and like that you can use more or less yams and it stays the same. I like my fries crispy though and that effect can be hard to get this way. I made sure to slice mine thin and baked at 400 but some on the edges burned. I will use an airbake pan next time I cook them. I also used a package mix of mango curry dip instead of tacco so not sure how that will taste. I think most dips would be good with this.

I've never made yam fries but I bought some I really needed to us. The season salt was...okay on them. The sweetness shined through so it was a nice contrast. It did take longer then 25 minutes, and even though the yams looked done, they were very soggy to pick up, so I turned the heat on the oven up to 350 degrees to help get a crisp edge on them to pull off the pan. The dip was fine but mild in flavor, so I added an additional tsp of taco seasoning and it turned out prefect. However. I tasted the yam with the dip before tweaking and I didn't really think the dip matched up with yams. Yams were good, Dip was good...just didn't seem to think they went together well. But that's my opinion.

We love this recipe! With 3 little kids, this is a great replacement for fries or tator tots with our quick dinners. I especially love the dip- different enough from everything else but not too much so.

Yum, Perfect combo of sweet and tangy. This dip is really good and so simple, it does get better the longer it sits. I grilled my yams b/c it's to hot to turn the oven on (plus I love grilled veggies!). I tossed them in one tbsp OO, 1 tsp honey, salt and pepper to taste first, then grilled (around 20 min, flippin half way on my charcoal grill). Easy and delicious, thanks for the recipe:)
