I heart fry sauce

For the sake of un-hijacking the Temple thread, I want to hear about everyone's favorite fry sauce. To date, my hands down favorite is at Rumbi with their amazing sweet potato fries...... :chris: My knees get weak just thinking about that yummy goodness! Seeing as how I do not live in Utah though, I am by NO means an expert and haven't really tried that many variations. I've been told that a "secret" ingredient is pickle juice, but having made many attempts with ketchup, mayo, and pickle juice, something is still missing. Per Bob's recommendation, I will be ordering some fry sauce today, but I am curious if there are any recipes floating around out there that you be willing to share with this poor deprived Colorado girl. :)

The fry sauce at the Training Table is my favorite. I"m pretty sure it's just BBQ sauce and Mayo.

The original fry sauce was 50/50 mayo/catsup and some salt/pepper... Very simple.

After the bandwagon started, now there is pickle juice, bbq sauce, mustard, etc. in there. Everyone has their own concauction that they call fry sauce. But IMO nothing compares to the good ol original that is Arctic Circle fry sauce from the 70's....:D

Training table cheese fries with fry sauce. It'll kill you, but you'll have a smile on your face.:)

I don't mind death. :rofl:

So here's what I've tried: Equal parts ketchup and mayo, not stellar. Equal parts K and M with varying amounts of pickle juice. Socks have not been knocked off yet. Then I remembered that in New Orleans they do a similar combo called shrimp sauce that has worchestershire sauce in it so I have experimented a little with that, but nothing magical yet.

Does anyone have an actual recipe or am I just going to have to beg someone to bring me fry sauce next time I'm in Moab? :-\ I would be more than willing to do an exchange.....I make yummy oyster crackers and love goddess cookies.


(CHADRICK....This is where you step up to the plate....:p)

I LOVE fry Sauce!!!! No Really, I do!

Good old basic homemade 60/40 tomato product to mayo is my go to sauce.
Sometimes a combo of mayo/miraclewhip adds a little something.

Crown Burger: Some locations use 1000Island dressing (explains the relishy part) some are the basic tomato product/mayo.

I say tomato product because most mass produced sauces use tomato paste and/or sauce. That's why some seem thinner. When my friends own Eat-A-Burger this is how they made it....but they added a secret (Mmmm) ingredient....Liquid Smoke.

Training tables spin, using BBQ is GOOD.

Wing Coop has a good sauce too. Not sure whats in it, suspect it is a mayo base with cajun seasoning. Good and spicey!

Little place in Spanish Fork has a white sauce that is amazing. I wish I could figure out whats in it!! They us it on their grilled ham and cheese too. YUMMY!! I have tried mayo/sourcream in various ratios, but that isn't it.

As someone mentioned, I believe AC adds a little vinegar to theirs.

New kids in Utah, Five guys seems to be sticking with the basic, and I like it!

Millies in Sugar House also has a good basic sauce. Their fries are good to. Real (not frozen) but thin.

Hires is the basic as well, and real fries. Just the right thickness and all good.

The fries are as important as the sauce to me. Though sauce can cover not so good fries. The whole experience is SOOOOO much better with a good fry.

For reference, Hires/Eat-A-Burger/Five Guys are an 8-9 out of 10. MacD's is a 2 at best. Training table is about a 6, only because of the cheese. Without cheese, maybe a 4, but the sauce makes up for it. Millies would be a 7-7.5. Crown and the other Greek places fall about 6. The thick "steak cut" might get you a 6.5 or so. But a frozen fry is NEVER going to get over 7.0, they just don't cut it!!
What does it take to get a 10....A LOT!! I reserve a 10 for a very special fry I have never found outside of homemade. To get a 10 you must first boil/bake the potato to 1/3 to 1/2 cooked, peel it, cut into just under 1/2" thick slices and fry to just the perfect golden brown in only the best vegi oil.

Wow that was long....Mmmmm I think I will make fries tonight!!:D

one small mod at a time
equal parts mayo ketchup with horseradih added to taste... I like a little kickier sauce.

CA has no clue.... turn on every restaraunt to it I went to.. (Look at the redneck from Idaho.. WTF is that, you try it, no you first, no you... he didn't die)
