Making Fry Sauce

Ever since I put up my post Steak Sauce, Hot Sauce, What Sauce? I’ve been a bit obsessed with a sauce called Fry Sauce. Chica was the one who told me about Fry Sauce and so I started looking into it. She told me about Some Dude’s Fry Sauce which is a kicked up version of the stuff.

What is Fry Sauce. Basically Fry Sauce is Ketchup and Mayo mixed together. The traditional recipe is two parts mayo to one part ketchup. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch and got fries with it so I went and put some Hellman’s mayo into a small Solo container. I also grabbed 4 packets of Heinz ketchup and a second Solo Container.

Making Fry Sauce

I assembled my ingredients and started work on my first attempt at Fry Sauce. I added the ketchup to the mayo.

Adding Ketchup to the Mayo

I then stirred the contents together and there was way too much for one of the solo cups. So I poured half into the other cup.

Mixed Sauce

The consistency was very pourable. It also coated the fries very well. I took my first bite.

Tasty Fry Sauce

It was pretty tasty. The overall taste was milder than ketchup and had a very creamy consistency.

I plan to experiment with different ingredients to make a very tasty sauce. I also tried to contact Some Dude’s Fry Sauce there may or may not be some info coming soon about that.

My Fry Sauce obsession will come to a head with a contest in the next month or so. It is going to be a recipe contest and I am hoping that people will enter. I’ll mix up their recipes and have friends over for a taste test, video the whole thing and crown a winning recipe. Details like rules, times and prizes are TBA right now. I’m looking for a sponsor for the prizes. I think this will be a lot of fun, and tasty too.

Steak Sauce, Hot Sauce, What Sauce…

I travel all over the country and eat in many places. What I’ve noticed is that every place has its own tastes. Some places are big on Hot Sauce, others like mayo on fries. I wonder what sorts of things my readers enjoy on their meals.

For example, what do you put on….

  • Burgers?
  • Hot Dogs?
  • Steak?
  • Pancakes?
  • Fries?

I’m curious and hungry as it is lunch time and I’m picking up my steak and cheese for lunch and one for Allison too.

I’m also heading out tonight to Montana and kicking myself for taking an evening flight. What was I thinking?

Read through the comments below. My friend Chica talks about Fry Sauce in her comment. That prompted me to hold the Ultimate Fry Sauce Recipe Contest.
