FRENCH FRY SAUCE
Absolutely THE best version of the recipe out there! The secret ingredient is vinegar, it smooths out the bumps and adds a little "zing". Whatever you do, do NOT substitute miracle whip for mayo, even if you hate mayo, because it will not taste the same. This is good on burgers, chicken nuggets, hash browns, french fries, pretty much anything you would put mayo & ketchup on.

FRY SAUCE
Different recipes for fry sauce exist, all across the world, including in the United States and its territories. Utah has its own beloved version, as does Puerto Rico, where it is called mayokétchup. Though this fry sauce calls for a 1:1 ratio of mayonnaise to ketchup, those amounts can and should be adjusted according to your tastes. This garlicky all-purpose flavor enhancer is ideal for dipping French fries, tostones and other crunchy fried things.

THE ONE AND ONLY TRULY BELGIAN FRIES
There is no fancy skill involved in making these crispy fries, but there is a trick. The potatoes are fried twice. The first time cooks them through and makes them tender. The second time, which can be done hours later just before serving, turns them golden brown and deliciously crisp.

Steps:
- Pour enough oil into a deep fryer to reach at least halfway up the sides of the pan but not more than three-quarters of the way up. Heat the oil to 325°F.
- Cut the potatoes into sticks 1/2 inch wide and 2 1/2 to 3 inches long. Dry all the pieces thoroughly in a clean dish towel. This will keep th oil from splattering. Divide the potato sticks into batches of no more than 1 cup each. Do not fry more than one batch at a time.
- When the oil has reached the desired temperature, fry the potatoes for 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should be lightly colored but not browned. If your fryer has a basket, simply lift it out the remove the fried potatoes. Otherwise, use a long-handled skimmer to lift out the potatoes. Be sure to bring the temperature of the oil back to 325°F in between batches. At this point the fries can rest for several hours at room temperature until you are almost ready to serve them.
- Heat the oil to 325°F. Fry the potatoes in 1-cup batches until they are nicely browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on fresh paper towels or brown paper bags and place in a warmed serving bowl lined with more paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and serve. Never cover the potatoes to keep them hot as they will immediately turn soft and limp. If you are inclined to perfectionism, leave some potatoes to fry halfway through the meal so you can serve them crisp and piping hot.
Tips:
- Use high-quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the sauce.
- If you don't have any ketchup, you can use tomato paste instead. Just add a little bit of water to thin it out.
- To make a spicy fry sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- For a smoky flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika.
- If you want a sweeter sauce, add a little bit of honey or sugar.
- You can also add other ingredients to your fry sauce, such as chopped pickles, onions, or herbs.
- Be sure to taste your sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Conclusion:
European fry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of foods. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a new sauce to try, give European fry sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
