What is fry sauce?

Fry sauce was made popular in Utah, Idaho, and even some areas in Oregon. The simple recipe is basically mixing together mayonnaise and ketchup to make a pink colored sauce. There are many versions of this recipe, we love making this particular one to use as a sweet potato fry dip.

Ingredients needed

Mayonnaise – Use your favorite mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.

Chili Sauce – Chili sauce adds great flavor to the sauce. You can find chili sauce in the condiment aisle, usually close to the ketchup. I like using the Heinz chili sauce but you could substitute with sriracha if you want added spice.

If you don’t like chili sauce, substitute with ketchup.

Pickle Juice – This adds a little extra punch of tang. You can scoop a few teaspoons out of your pickle jar to mix in the sauce.

Paprika and Ground Black Pepper – Simple seasoning for the sauce.

How to make sweet potato fries dipping sauce

Step one: Place mayonnaise, chili sauce, pickle juice, paprika, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.

Step two: Stir the ingredients until completely combine.

Sauce variations

Base – If you don’t like mayonnaise, try substitute with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

Spices – Like a little added heat? Try mixing in a pinch of cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, or even Cajun seasoning. You could also try adding a little garlic powder for a stronger garlic flavor.

Juice – The pickle juice is optional. You could try substituting with a teaspoon of lemon juice, vinegar, or even a little horseradish.

How to serve

You don’t have to serve this fry sauce with just sweet potato french fries. It goes will with many dishes like:

• Sweet potato wedges
• French Fries
• Drizzled over vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.
• On hamburgers or wraps.

How to store

Store this sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for a week in the refrigerator. Make sure to give it a stir before serving.

This sauce does not freeze well because the mayonnaise will separate.
