Over the next few weeks (or months, who knows) we’ll be publishing the cocktail and food recipes that we find most exciting, so that when you aren’t ordering in to support your favourite venues, you’ll know enough to quickly throw together some top-class concoctions.
Utah Fry Sauce
If you have ever been to Utah and ordered french fries at a restaurant then you are already acquainted with Fry Sauce. Statewide, it’s considered a treasure and is one of the most popular condiments around. Utah-based burger chain Arctic Circle claims to have invented fry sauce in the 1940s. Seventy years after it was first served, it’s still a classic favourite at the burger chain. In fact, Arctic Circle goes through nearly 50,000 gallons of the sauce annually in the chain’s dining rooms, where self-service pumps spurt out two gallons a day on average.
Combining ketchup (tomato sauce) and mayonnaise may not be a unique idea – In Argentina it’s called “golf sauce” and is used on fries, burgers and sandwiches. In Germany it’s called “Rott Weiss” – but Utah claims their sauce has one “secret” ingredient that makes all the difference in their recipe: pickle juice.
This recipe should only take 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup ketchup (roughly a 2 to 1 ratio)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 to 4 teaspoons pickle juice (add one teaspoon at a time and check for taste).
Method
- Simply mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.
