What is Fry Sauce?

In it’s most basic form, fry sauce is a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise. My sauce starts with that combo and then adds just a few more ingredients that really makes it the best fry sauce for dipping.

The color and flavor will remind you of Thousand Island dressing – and for good reason. A lot of similar ingredients and flavors without the texture. This recipe calls for pickle juice instead of chopped pickles or relish.

• mayonnaise – one of the two key main ingredients, the mayonnaise gives this French fry sauce a seriously creamy texture.
• ketchup – the ketchup adds SO much flavor to this simple recipe: sweetness, flavor, the bite from the vinegar and don’t forget color!
• pickle juice – a little brininess that is the perfect complement to this sauce. Dill or sweet – it’s up to you.

Variations To Try

I recommend making the recipe as written at least once before trying these variations, then you’ll know what you might want to change. Here are some delicious, easy variations you can try:

• Make it spicy. Add your favorite hot sauce to the mix for a little heat. Or stir in some chipotle adobo sauce for some added smokiness.
• Try the Trifecta. You’ve got the mayonnaise and ketchup already, add the mustard or our favorite, dijon mustard, to make this an all-in-one dipping sauce or burger spread.
• Sweeten. Lots of recipes call for sugar so if you like a sweeter sauce add up to 1 teaspoon of sugar, honey or brown sugar. Keep in mind the ketchup already has sugar which is why I don’t add sugar to my recipe to begin with.
