Fry Sauce
Fry Sauce is the perfect accompaniment to freshly fried spuds, a charbroiled burger, roasted hot dogs or even a French dip sandwich!
Head down to Puerto Rico and you’ll have “mayo ketchup” with garlic powder. In Mississippi, they call it “come back sauce” and in other areas “special sauce” or “secret sauce”. It is what sets the California fast food chain In-N-Out Burger aside from competitors and keeps people coming back. Other variations include pickle juice, onion powder, relish, mustard and even vinegar. I’ve taken all of the tasty add-ins and mixed them into one well-balanced recipe and it’s totally THE best Fry Sauce!

Seriously, this fry sauce will blow your socks off, just get ready. You’ll be having dreams about Fry Sauce on your morning cereal and making it in bulk for way more than just your fries…like burgers, wraps, onion rings & salads! Fry Sauce can be made ahead of time. Then, store it in an air tight container for up to a week in the fridge. The good news is that when you run out, it’s so simple to make that just a quick spin of your food processor and you’ll have a fresh batch.

Could I substitute dill pickle juice in place of minced? If so, do you know the measurement ? Thanks.
What sort of mustard did you use powdered or American yellow mustard please
Hi Carol. This recipe uses American yellow mustard.
Can you use dill relish instead of dill pickle minced?
You sure can Erica!
