For a dipping sauce, combine barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard, then stir in honey to add some sweetness. -Jeni Pittard, Statham, Georgia

Tips:

- To make the fries extra crispy, double-fry them. Fry them once at a lower temperature (300°F or 149°C) until they are cooked through, then fry them again at a higher temperature (375°F or 191°C) until they are golden brown and crispy.
