Tips and Variations
- Make it spicy: Stir in about 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Make it sweet: Add up to ¼ cup granulated sugar for a sweeter, fast‑food‑style version.
- Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and Worcestershire a little at a time—small changes can shift the flavor a lot.
- For extra tang, add a splash of pickle juice or a bit of vinegar.
Storage
Store fry sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Give it a quick stir before serving, especially if it’s been sitting for several days.
FAQs
Can I use light mayo?
Yes, light mayonnaise works fine and will make the sauce a bit lighter, though slightly less rich.
Can I make it dairy‑free?
Use a dairy‑free or vegan mayonnaise and check that your Worcestershire sauce is vegan‑friendly if needed.
What else can I serve this with besides fries?
It’s great with burgers, grilled chicken, hot dogs, roasted potatoes, veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
Can I freeze fry sauce?
Freezing isn’t recommended because mayo‑based sauces can separate once thawed. Stick to refrigerated storage.
