If you have yet to try fry sauce, you’re missing out! In its basic form, fry sauce combines mayonnaise and ketchup, and it has gained popularity since the mid-20th century. Some credit the Arctic Circle burger chain for popularizing it in the 1940s, although you’ll see similar sauces throughout Latin and South America, Puerto Rico, and Europe.
Once you try it, you’ll see why it’s so loved! Fry sauce is the perfect dip for French fries, sweet potato fries, roasted veggies, and much more. My fry sauce recipe combines mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, hot sauce, Worcestershire, pickle juice, and salt. I stir it all together, and it’s ready. For another sauce that’s perfect for dipping, try our spicy mayo!

Feel free to increase the ketchup or add more ingredients, such as spices or dill pickle juice (Adam always adds a little pickle juice to the sauce when he makes it).
To take the sauce up a notch, try making it with homemade mayonnaise and homemade ketchup. If you are egg-free or vegan, swap traditional mayonnaise with our homemade vegan mayonnaise.
