This recipe has been around for a long time! If you add some lemon juice to it, it is called Marie Rose sauce, which is usually served with fried fish. They also make this sauce in Belgian fry shops. :-]

Wow, I use to combine ketchup and mayo together, put in some chopped sweet pickles to use as a dressing resembling thousand island.

This might be similar to the sauce that Outback serves with their blooming onion. I’ve never heard of fry sauce but it looks good.
I made this sauce last night along with homemade french fries and was very good!

This is awesome ;) :) My dad and I both love fry sauce. He makes his own now, and in addition to what you have here, he adds a little bit of sweet pickle relish. I’m going to send him this link. He’ll really enjoy this ;) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :) :) :)

I think it depends on what part of the country you are from. We had never even heard of it in Kansas or Colorado but was asked if we wanted when we lived in the northwest.

Thank you for the recipe. I hadn’t thought to thin the sauce but will do so in the future. The most outstanding fry sauce I have found is a combination of co*cktail sauce and tartar sauce! Sprinkle the fries with malt vinegar and dip them in the sauce.

02.16.14 I made this and it is good. I think I still like my concoction better, though, which is about 1/2 ketchup and 1/2 ranch dressing. Not TOO much different, actually. THX for the GREAT site and books. Luv them and you all!
Fry sauce is a condiment often served with French fries or tostones (twice-fried plantain slices) in many places in the world. It is usually a combination of one part tomato ketchup and two parts mayonnaise.
French fries are often salted, and are served with a variety of condiments, notably ketchup, curry, curry ketchup, curry sauce, hot or chili sauce, mustard, mayonnaise, salad cream, honey mustard, bearnaise sauce, remoulade, tartar sauce, tzatziki, garlic sauce, fry sauce, burger sauce, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, ...
“One night we took ketchup and mayonnaise and . . . because we liked it, we started sharing it.” Eventually customers started asking for “that fry sauce stuff,” and pretty soon it was popular enough to replace ketchup, with “fry sauce” becoming the name.
For the fry sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, roasted red pepper puree and adobo sauce in a small bowl and stir together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use right away or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
This sauce is made up of mayo, ketchup, some sriracha for that heat kick, and some honey, rice vinegar and Worcestershire sauce for that tangy- almost smokey- sweetness.
According to local history, fry sauce was created in the late 1940s by Don Carlos Edwards, founder of the Utah-based fast-food chain Arctic Circle. Originally called “pink sauce,” the recipe included ketchup, mayo, garlic, and a mix of other spices to create an instant hit condiment that was perfect for french fries.
Mayo is the go-to fry dip in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands where they call the sauce fritessaus (fries sauce); it's a little sweeter and less fatty than your typical Canadian mayo.
Most people like ketchup in the US, but I find it boring. Malt vinegar, a mix of mayo, ketchup and mustard, ranch dressing, gravy, chilli and cheese are all more preferable. However, at fast food places, ketchup is the cheapest condiment, so is offered more.
Aioli is the classic sauce for french fries. It is garlicky, rich, and smooth. Then what is the difference between aioli and mayo? If you want an extra taste just throw an extra clove of garlic in the mayonnaise to get aioli.
the ultra-simple mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. that you can use as a dipping sauce for French fries. Yum Yum sauce could be viewed as the upgraded. version of fry sauce.
While fry sauce is not the same as Thousand Island or Burger Sauce, it is still similar with the use of mayo as the base. In our fry sauce recipe, we use: Mayonnaise. Ketchup.
Fry sauce is commonly found in Utah, southern Idaho, and rural Oregon. I am trying to spread the word! This is an amazing recipe and after tasting this you will never again settle for plain ketchup with fries.
More than 65 years later, fry sauce is still the signature pride and joy of Arctic Circle and has spread to most of the West Coast and Northwest. But that's not to say that Don Carlos Edwards was the only inquisitive mind who created a sauce out of a ketchup and mayonnaise base.
