Serving Ideas

This fry sauce is so good you can use it on almost anything. My favorite would be a perfectly crisp french fry dunked in this liquid gold, but that is just the beginning.

Other serving suggestions for the french fry sauce would be:

• For a chicken tenders dipper
• With fried fish
• As a sandwich spread
• As a burger sauce
• Drizzled over scrambled eggs
• As a tangy salad dressing
• Hot dog and/or corn dog condiment
• Literally, anything.

Variations and Substitutions

There are so many ways you can customize this french fry sauce. Let us count the ways.

First, you can make it spicy. Throw in cayenne, spicy ketchup, minced pickled jalapeños or even a healthy squirt of sriracha. Frank's or Crystal hot sauce are also fantastic options!

If you don't like dill pickle juice, use sweet. You absolutely can. Just don't tell me about it. I kid. But, not really.

Add some mustard for more tang. Yellow mustard, whole grain, and even a spicy dijon would definitely add some kick.

If you're serving this sauce for a backyard BBQ situation, stir in a little of your favorite barbeque sauce for added smokiness with a touch of sweet.

You can even play with the mayo/ketchup ratio depending on how creamy you like your sauce. The world is your oyster. Go wild!
