If you don't know what fry sauce is... you must live anywhere but Utah. Fry sauce is a staple in Utah. It's right up there with ranch dressing (I am pretty sure if you took away fry sauce and ranch dressing from Utah... people would starve). You can go into any restaurant in Utah and order fry sauce and they will know exactly what you are talking about. Try to do it in any other state and people will look at you like you are a crazy person (believe me.. I know from experience). If you have never tried fry sauce before, I am sorry, but you have been missing out. I grew up on this stuff. To be honest, it's probably the first "recipe" I ever made. Try it. You will love it. You will never go back to eating fries with plain old ketchup again.
1/3 c. ketchup (if you want to make it more like Red Robin you can substitute BBQ sauce)
2/3 c. mayonnaise
optional: 1 tsp mustard (just for a little added zip)
Mix all ingredients until smooth. Eat with fries or chicken nuggets. Enjoy (I know you will)!

I found your blog because I googled something a while back and I just love it. I live in Idaho and it is the same with the whole fry sauce thing. I didn't know that people everywhere didn't have it until I asked in some other state when I was a teen. I love it and my brother had me add jut about a teaspoon of dill pickle juice along with the mustard and it is really good. Thanks for your great blog.
Thanks! I had no idea that Idaho was a fry sauce state.. I won't be afraid to ask for it next time I drive through! Thanks for the comment!
I fell in love with fry sauce as a student at BYU. When I married and moved to Washington, I had to come up with my own version. I add worcestershire sauce to mine. You are right, once you are hooked, plain ketchup just isn't enought on fries.
I used to work at Frontier Pies and their version was BBQ Sauce, Cheese sauce, and mayo.
Oh yeah baby.
Oh yeah, they have fry sauce everywhere here in Idaho. It is so great, I hate having to mix my own when I am out to eat.
Dear Author www.favfamilyrecipes.com !
It agree, it is the amusing answer
When I was young we lived in two states that had fry sauce !! In Oregon the Arctic Circle had it for the tater tots and in Blackfoot Idaho they had fry sauce at Humpty's Dump a drive-in that also sold a soft drink called "Iron Port" which you can't get anymore !! :(
I introduced my daughter to fry sauce in Utah about 5 years ago and she will eat anything with fry sauce on it !! !!!
Red Robbin's every where have fry sauce. However, if you are asking for it outside of Utah you have to ask for campfire sauce instead of fry sauce.
I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter?
Yes you may post on your blog, please just give the author credit.

I love the fry sauce at A&W in Logan... I think it has relish in it too, soooo yummy!
I was born and raised in NM and fry sauce was something we always made too! I believe it is popular because of the old time car hop type places. I used to work at a doughnut shop and we made it there! So good! Great blog!
