Fry sauce is a condiment often served with French fries or tostones (twice-fried plantain slices) in many places in the world. It is usually a combination of one part tomato ketchup and two parts mayonnaise.[1]

In the United States

Although sauce composed of a mixture of equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise appears in a New Orleans cookbook published in 1900,[2] fry sauce was popularized in Utah. It may have first appeared there in 1955 at Stan's Drive-In, which was then a franchise of Arctic Circle. Another possible origin for fry sauce was the "pink sauce" served in 1941 at Don Carlos Barbecue in Salt Lake City.[3] [4] In his essay on Utah fry sauce, Michael P. Christensen noted that fry sauce "functions as a cultural identifier for Utahns."[4] The Arctic Circle chain still serves fry sauce in its western United States restaurants.[5]

In April 2018, Heinz announced the release of "Mayochup", a mixture of the two sauces, because 500,000+ users voted "yes" in a Twitter poll asking Americans if they wanted to see it in stores. A number of Twitter users responded that such a mixture already existed as "fry sauce" and "fancy sauce".[6] [7] The sauce arrived at U.S. retailers' shelves in September 2018.[8] [9]

The sauce is also closely related to Yum Yum sauce, which is popular in Japanese steakhouses in America.[10]

Outside the United States

In Argentina and Uruguay, a similar condiment known as Spanish; Castilian: [[salsa golf]] (golf sauce) is a popular dressing for fries, burgers, steak sandwiches, and seafood salads. According to tradition, the sauce was invented by Luis Federico Leloir, a Nobel laureate and restaurant patron, at a golf club in Mar del Plata, Argentina, during the mid-1920s.[11] [12]

In France, many Turkish restaurants and fast food establishments serve fry sauce and call it French: sauce cocktail; it is also common for customers to request French: ketchup-mayo (a dab of mayonnaise and a dab of ketchup) alongside their French fries at such places. Both sauce cocktail and the Thousand Island dressing-like sauce cocktail can often be found in supermarkets.[13] [14]

In Germany, a popular product called German: Rot Weiß (red white) is sold in toothpaste-style tubes; it consists of unmixed ketchup and mayonnaise, which form a red-and-white striped string when squeezed out. Fries at restaurants are sometimes served with an equal mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise.[15] This style of serving is often called Pommes Rot-Weiß or, colloquially Pommes Schranke (barrier gate) due to the red-and-white coloration of those. German: Pommes-Soße or German: Frittensoße (fry sauce) is a lightly spiced mayonnaise similar to the Dutch Dutch; Flemish: [[Fritessaus]]. A condiment similar to the American fry sauce is known as German: [[Cocktail sauce#Europe|Cocktailsoße]], but it is more often used for döner kebab than for French fries.

In Iceland, a condiment similar to fry sauce called Icelandic: Kokteilsósa (cocktail sauce) is popular.[16]

In the Philippines, a similar sauce is made by combining mayonnaise and banana ketchup. It is commonly used as a dipping sauce for fried food like french fries and cheese sticks (deep fried cheese wrapped in lumpia wrapper) but also for appetizers like lumpia.[17] [18]

In the United Kingdom, more specifically, London, this sauce is known as "burger sauce", and is served in one of two ways:

In Puerto Rico, mayokétchup is widely used with Spanish; Castilian: [[tostones]], sandwiches, burgers, and fried foods. It is made of equal parts of mayonnaise and ketchup with the addition of garlic.[20]

In Japan, this sauce is known as "aurora sauce". It is different from the sauce of the same name used in French cuisine.
