A love child of homemade ketchup and mayo, this Fry Sauce From Scratch is the perfect condiment for dipping and spreading!

Do you have any super vivid memories of particular food moments that you’ll never forget? I don’t mean those beautiful moments, I mean the WTF ones. For me, I was about 19 and I had this gorgeous Bosnian friend who used to always ask for a side of mayonnaise and dipped her fries in it like it was an albino ketchup delicacy. It was the grossest thing I had ever seen and my pure ketchup and fry-eating brain couldn’t even comprehend what was happening. I was so naïve.

Today, even though you still wont find me dipping my fries in straight mayo, now that I’ve discovered the absolute deliciousness that is a Fry Sauce From Scratch, I get it. And I’m sorry for all of the silent (and sometimes not so silent) judgement I’ve passed to all you mayo dipping good people out there! 😉

Ingredients Needed

mayo and ketchup jars with white vinegar and spices.

Seriously, Fry Sauce, it’s like a ketchup and mayo love child. And even more delicious when you make it with your own Mayo From Scratch and Homemade Ketchup! A touch of vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika, and you’re all set. Even better, because you can customize your own homemade ketchup so much, dependent upon the flavors of your ketchup, you can have a different tasting fry sauce every new batch of ketchup!

SO Easy to Make

Add everything to a bowl, mix, and you’re done. Does it get any easier?

Nope. It doesn’t.

Perfect for your favorite fries! One of my favorites – Baked Parmesan Steak Fries or even our Crispy Garlic Rosemary Potato Wedges.
