Fry Sauce is a tasty mayonnaise-based sauce with ketchup and added seasonings that is delicious on fries, chips, or on a hamburger. Try my Aioli Recipe or Garlic Sauce for more flavorful homemade sauces.
Fry Sauce
This condiment is a must-make sauce that will certainly add flavor to a plate of french fries. But, don’t stop with just fries. Add it to Roasted Potato Wedges or use it as a dipping sauce for Onion Rings and Cheeseburger Hand Pies. Forget about buying a jar of french fry sauce at the store; this has more flavor and is super easy to make.
Fry Sauce Ingredients
Mayonnaise is the base of this recipe. Then, a little ketchup is blended in with more flavors and spices.
Hot Sauce: Hot sauce adds some heat to the dip, but not too much. This is different than buffalo sauce, which has added butter that makes it thicker and creamier.
Pickle Juice: Don’t leave this out; it adds some tanginess to the dip.
This recipe is easy to tweak and make it how you like it. Try it with different spices like garlic powder or cayenne pepper. And, you can add as much heat (or as little) as you like.
How to Store
This sauce is so easy to make, and once you try it, you will want to keep some on hand to try it on as many foods as you can think of! Store the sauce in a sealed container, in the refrigerator, for 3-5 days (if it even lasts that long).

What is pickle juice?
This sauce is quite good. But it takes VERY much like Chick-Fil-A’s sauce…..just sayin….
Thanks! I use Mayo, ketchup, horseradish and salt and pepper. I am going to add pickle juice next time!
Do you use sweet pickle or dill pickle juice?
I use dill, but you can use whatever flavor you prefer.
Are you using sweet or dill pickle juice?
I use Dill but you can use whichever you prefer.
What kind of pickle juice? I see people asking the same question n no reply.
I’ve replied several times, but will again.

Pickle juice…sweet, bread & butter, dill, relish???
What kind of pickle juice?
This is a guess, but I would think regular Dill pickle sauce? The vinegar base will make it tangy.
Most pickles have a vinegar base, so using dill vs. butter or another variety doesn’t matter so much in this recipe. (we like dill though, and usually have it hand)
Taste really good on seafood too. Dipping sauce for fresh steamed crabs and as well shrimp. Add Old Bay seasoning too! Very good!
I am a 78 YO who mostly cooks as inspiration occurs – from scratch. My iPad INBOX is my “cookbook of choice”, search daily posts such as yours, and have printed out more recipes that I may not live long enough to try!
I am loving these recipes for sauces and spice mixes, as I often do not have a specific sauce when I want to make a new dish (almost daily), so will likely make several. I may need a second refrigerator, however, as my current one does not have enough free space for a mouse to commit suicide (as my son comments when he looks in it!)!
Love your website!
