  2. 2Serve with your favorite fries or use on a top of a burger!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup This is the base of the sauce recipe. You can even use a variation of mayonnaise if you prefer.
  • 0.75 cup Adds in the sweetness and brings out the red coloring in the sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon This is loads of flavor added into the sauce.
  • 1 Tablespoon It sounds weird, but it is pickle juice essentially. It is vinegar and water mixed together to give it a tangy taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Add some color and heat all at once.
  • 1 pinch Flavorful with some heat in this fry sauce.

Tips

  • Variations: Mix and match ingredients to have endless amounts of sauces for your fries and burgers. Try it with a little more heat or add in some fun juices for a sweet and tangy fry sauce. Mayonnaise: It is best to enjoy the thick, rich texture of real mayonnaise but substitute it for miracle whip or a veganiese mayo for a preferred taste. Spices: Black pepper, garlic powder or garlic salt are great ways to add in a strong flavoring. Just start with a dash and continue to add it as you go for the flavor you are hoping for. Heat: Make this as hot and spicy as you would like. Tabasco sauce, hot sauce or some red pepper flakes are great ways to bring on some extra heat. Juices: If you are not a fan of pickle juice try apple cider vinegar, lemon juice or even horseradish to give your mouth a kick of tanginess.
  • How Long is Fry Sauce Good?: It is always good to store fry sauce in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator. It is best to use it within 3 to 5 days from making it. You can make it ahead of time but again, make sure the fry sauce is used within 3 to 5 days. When ready to serve, simply stir it together and enjoy cold! I do not recommend freezing this sauce. It would separate when thawed and have water condensation.
  • What to Dip Fry Sauce In?: Best Ever Baked Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges, Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes, Crispy Garlic Avocado Fries (Baked), Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps, The Best Burger
