Born and raised in Utah—the true home of fry sauce— I’ve perfected this recipe to pair with just about everything. This isn’t your average ketchup-mayo mix. The secret ingredient? Pickle Brine . Stay with me! It brings the BEST tang to the sauce!!

What MakesMyFry Sauce the Real MVP

  • Straight from the source : Born and raised in Utah, I didn’t just discover fry sauce, I grew up on it. This recipe is the real deal!
  • Flavor that actually stands out: It’s smooth, tangy, and perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too salty.
  • You’ll use it on everything! We use this on Fries , burgers , wraps , nuggets , you name it. If it’s going on a plate, so is the sauce!

Ingredients Needed

  • Mayonnaise : Mayo is classic in this recipe, but in a pinch, you can swap it for Miracle Whip or vegan mayo.
  • Spices: Add a dash of black pepper or garlic powder for a flavor boost. Start small, then taste, and adjust.
  • Heat : Give it a little kick with Tabasco, hot sauce , cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Make it as bold as you like.
  • Juices : I use dill pickle juice for the perfect tang, but if that’s hard for you to find, you can try apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, or even horseradish for a tangy little twist.

How to Make the BEST Fry Sauce Ever!

Again, I can’t stress enough how simple this recipe easy. This is a tried and true favorite that tastes so good all the time. Looking for a similar sauce with a BBQ spin to it? Make my copycat Red Robbin Campfire sauce .

Storing Leftovers

  • In the Fridge: Store fry sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
  • In the Freezer: I do not recommend freezing! It would separate when thawed and have water condensation.
