Discover Utah’s secret to the best Fry Sauce! With just mayo, ketchup, and my special spices, this easy-to-make condiment is perfect for fries and burgers. The Best Fry Sauce Discover Utah’s beloved Fry Sauce: a sweet, savory, and tangy treat that’s a staple in local eateries and homes. As a Utahn, I’ve perfected this simple recipe, originally just ketchup and mayo, adding my own twist for a unique flavor. Believed to be created by Don Carlos Edwards in the 1940s, this sauce’s history is as rich as its taste. Try my special version and join the ranks of Fry Sauce enthusiasts! Ingredients In Fry Sauce Mayonnaise: Use real, full-fat mayo for a creamy texture. Recommended: Hellmann’s/Best Foods® Ketchup: Adds color and flavor. Opt for quality brands like Heinz® to avoid acidity. Worcestershire Sauce: A small amount enriches the sauce with umami and depth. Pickle Relish: Provides tanginess; substitute with vinegar or lemon juice if preferred. Paprika: Offers color, flavor, and a hint of smokiness, balancing the sweetness. Salt: A little extra enhances and brings out the overall flavors of the sauce. How To Make Fry Sauce Mix together mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s/Best Foods) and ketchup (Heinz recommended) in a bowl. Add a bit of pickle relish, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, a sprinkle of paprika, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined. Refrigerate for a while to meld flavors. VARIATIONS Switch Things Up Spicy: Add Tabasco, chili powder, cayenne pepper, or chipotle in adobo sauce for heat. Garlic Flavor: Mix in roasted or regular garlic powder, or use garlic salt instead of regular salt. Mustard Twist: Stir in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of yellow mustard. Storage Fry Sauce keeps for 3-5 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Check for off odors or appearance to ensure it’s still good. Freezing is not recommended; make smaller batches if needed.

Keep the sauce chilled in an airtight container and promptly return leftovers to the fridge. The best way to tell if your fry sauce has gone bad is to look and smell. If the sauce develops an off odor, flavor, or appearance, discard it. Fry Sauce doesn't freeze or thaw well so I recommend making a half batch if you don't need this much.

I love roasted potatoes and along with ridiculously awesome-sounding fry sauce sounds just perfect right about now! Reply
The fry sauce sounds so good! I could enjoy that with so many things, including crispy potatoes! Reply
Ha! That’s the recipe we used to use to make “Russian dressing” for a salad dressing. It’s delicious! Reply
Hmmmm. Never heard it called fry sauce before. Been making it for salad dressing for over 50 years. Mayo, catsup, tapatio to taste. That’s French dressing. Add pickle relish it becomes thousand island dressing. Reply
I am a HUGE fry sauce fan, and this simple recipe looks terrific! One question, though: sweet or dill relish (or is it by personal preference)? Reply
I am just like you. I have to make my own sauce whenever we have fries. My husband uses it for his salad. I will try your receipt because it’s different than what I make. But it sounds very good. Reply
