These were really good, but didn't use the dip. Served them for dinner w/ barbecued pork chops, salad and veggies. They didn't crisp up and you really need to keep an eye on them as 25 minutes could be a bit long or they'll start to burn. Will keep making them as they are easy, tasty and quick.

The flavors in the chips and the dip were great. But, my chips would not crisp! The ones that were cripsy, honestly, were burnt. I will try this again, but with no salt on the potatoes until after they are cooked.

There is a very fine line between done and burnt! The ones that were not burnt were very good. I suggest using a cookware stone to cook them on.

I was never a sweet potato fan but I couldn't stop eating these! I did not make the dip to go with them and they were great without also.

Absolutely EXCELLENT! I didn't have taco mix so I just doubled the spices for the chips. I then sprinkled a little cayenne pepper on the dip for a little extra zip. I will for sure be making these again very soon!

Loved these chips! A few of mine got a little overcooked after baking at 400 for 25 minutes - so keep an eye on them; cutting them into a uniform thickness will help prevent this. I served these with homemade guacamole and they were delicious.

The chips were wonderfully crisp and crunchy with a great spicy flavor. I didn't make the dip and didn't miss it.

Potatoes turned out great. Next time will change the mayo & sour cream ratios. Waaaaaay less mayo next time. Plus added some caribbean jerk seasoning to dip.

Loved the dip. The potatoes did not turn out as crispy as expected.
