If you have spent any time in Utah, you know that fry sauce is the gold standard for dipping. It is incredibly simple to make at home, and once you try it, you will never want to eat plain ketchup again.

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it takes less than two minutes to pull together. Just whisk everything in a small bowl and let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors can mingle before you serve.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pickle juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle juice, garlic powder, and paprika to a small mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and combined.

  3. 3

    Taste the sauce and add a little salt or pepper if you feel it needs more flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately or place it in the refrigerator for twenty minutes to let the ingredients blend.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can also customize this sauce by adding a dash of hot sauce if you like a little extra heat.
