Once you’ve had fry sauce with your fries, there’s no going back! It takes your fries to the next level. The best part is that you don’t need to visit a restaurant to enjoy it, because this recipe comes together in minutes with just a few pantry staples.
I make it all the time for burger nights or quick after-school snacks, and my family absolutely devours it. It’s the best way to turn ordinary fries into something extraordinary. Give this recipe a try, and you’ll never want to eat fries without it again!
Ingredients
You only need four simple ingredients to make this fry sauce.
- 2 cups Duke’s real mayonnaise – The creamy base of the sauce. While Duke’s mayonnaise is my brand of choice, you can use any full-fat mayonnaise brand that you have on hand.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder – Adds a savory onion flavor without altering the texture of the sauce.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder – Adds a subtle garlic warmth that balances the sweetness of the ketchup.
- ⅓ cup ketchup – The ketchup gives the sauce its signature pink color and adds a touch of sweetness. Use BBQ sauce for a smoky variation on the sauce.
How To Make Fry Sauce
Just whisk together the ingredients and serve. Let me show you how.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Serve right away or chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavor to deepen.
Recipe Tip
Use good-quality mayo. It’s the main ingredient, so a flavorful, creamy one like Duke’s makes a big difference.
Let it chill. This is optional, but even 15–30 minutes in the fridge helps the flavors meld beautifully.
Taste and tweak. Everyone likes their fry sauce a little different. Want it spicier? Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne. Like it tangier? Add a little pickle or relish juice.

Fry Sauce Recipe FAQs
Sure. Try adding some sriracha sauce, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to give the sauce a little heat.
I add it to my hamburgers, dip my chicken nuggets in it, spread it on sandwich bread, or just lick it off a spoon!
You can use Greek yogurt or sour cream as an alternative. However, it will slightly alter the overall taste and texture of the fry sauce.
