Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) ketchup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) pickle brine
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) paprika
Spices:
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Gather all condiments and a mixing vessel to create the signature tangy and creamy fry sauce.
- Whisk mayonnaise and ketchup together until a uniform salmon-pink color emerges.
- Incorporate Worcestershire sauce, adding depth and umami complexity to the base mixture.
- Drizzle pickle brine to introduce a subtle briny undertone and enhance overall flavor profile.
- Sprinkle paprika and a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper to provide a gentle warmth and subtle spice sensation.
- Thoroughly blend all ingredients until the sauce reaches a smooth, consistent texture with no visible separation.
- Transfer the vibrant condiment to a serving container or refrigerate for later use with crispy french fries, grilled meats, or as a zesty burger accompaniment.
- For optimal flavor development, allow sauce to rest in refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving, enabling ingredients to meld together harmoniously.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the cayenne pepper, adding more for a spicier kick or reducing it for a milder flavor.
- Experiment with different pickle brines like dill or sweet varieties to create unique flavor profiles that complement your dish.
- For a lighter version, swap traditional mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a low-fat alternative without compromising the creamy texture.
- Store the fry sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify over time.
