All About Fry Sauce - Best Fry Sauce in Utah

Those outside of the state of Utah may be unfamiliar with the Utah staple, "fry sauce." Fry sauce is made many different ways, but usually consists of some combination of ketchup and mayonnaise. It is obviously used for dipping french fries, but is also used on burgers and sandwiches, as well as for dipping other fried foods.


From Wikipedia: Fry sauce is a regional condiment served with French fries. It is usually a simple combination of one part ketchup and two parts mayonnaise. When spices and other flavorings are added, it is similar to—but thicker and smoother than—traditional Russian dressing and Thousand Island dressing. In the United States, fry sauce is commonly found in restaurants in Utah and Idaho.

Some places add BBQ sauce instead of ketchup. Some add buttermilk dressing instead of mayonnaise. Some stick with ketchup and mayonnaise, but add secret ingredients like pickle relish, salsa, honey or secret spice

For those of you outside of Utah that would like to make their own fry sauce, here is a recipe I like.

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon season salt
