Fry Sauce is a simple dipping sauce blending the tangy flavors of ketchup and mayo. Commonly found in Utah, southern Idaho & rural Oregon- it’s a favorite!
It’s no secret that we love our Game Time Grub in this house. Homegating is a weekly occurrence & it almost always includes Fry Sauce.
Now- being that I grew up in So Cal – fry sauce wasn’t something that I grew up with. If it didn’t come from In & Out Burger – I didn’t really know it existed.
Then we moved here to North Idaho & we had a little place specific to the North West literally smell distance from our little rental at the time. The hubs picked up burgers, several tubs of fries & this stuff called fry sauce to feed our hungry crew while we unloaded the moving truck.
I reluctantly tried some- I’m just like that about new things. We all were absolutely amazed & it has become my “can’t live without” condiment. I used to be able to run on over & pick up a few tubs for our homegating events because it was literally so close to our house.
But now that we have bought this house & moved to a new town – the closest location is quite a little jaunt.

So – being that I love to find ways to make it myself, I decided to try my hand at it. 5 recipes later – THIS IS THE ONE! Looking for Easy Family Dinner Ideas?
I love it even more than the original. I have to admit- I add this stuff to everything- it’s not just for fries. It was great on these onion rings. I also love it on chicken tenders, hash browns, home fries, burgers, hot dogs & so much more.

If you have never had fry sauce before- you HAVE TO give it a try. I think there is something similar in the South called comeback sauce. I can see why it’s called that. It’s definitely a regional thing.
I know that Utah is known for it. The family was happy about that during our trip to SLC last April. They didn’t have to go without their favorite dipping sauce while we traveled.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can this be frozen?
Because of the mayo this won’t freeze well. But the portion that this makes is small enough that you could reasonably get through all of it within the 7 days that it should stay good for in the fridge. You can always cut the recipe in half if needed instead.
Can this recipe be doubled?
You can, and we do it often. In fact, a double or triple amount is perfect for a large family.
What is the best way to store leftover fry sauce?
Just keep it refrigerated for up to 7 days. As long as you don’t let it sit out at room temperature for too long, this should keep well when chilled.

What is this Pappy’s seasoning? I’ve never heard of it and I’m from SLC. My oldest daughter loves fry sauce! I’d like to make some for her. I’m in Tennessee now, wishing I was still in SLC!

Hi Jane, Pappy’s is a seasoning we stumbled upon that really makes all the difference in this recipe. I have seen it now at most grocers here where we are, but you can also find it here https://amzn.to/31XpGCo
