Mayo by itself is too sweet, but sriracha makes everything better. I added a bit of tabasco too, for the sour note. It was great.

I know this makes me some kind of freak, but I eat my fries with just salt and pepper.
Upvoted for "me too."
I've been in France and Belgium for the past couple of months and have really started to like mayo with fries. I like a bunch of the variants too, like mayo and garlic. This sounds a little like "samurai" sauce, mayo with a little spice to it. Thanks for the tip.
You have just opened a whole new world of condiments for me to explore.
...Thank you.
Wasabi mayo works really, really well!
do you drown the fries in it?
I've seen me do it. I fucking drown them in it.
mayo and garlic = aioli
mayo and sriracha = dynamite sauce
I have been looking for a source/recipe of samurai sauce for years now! I finally learned how to make good frites, but need some good authentic sauce. I'll try this, but am still interested in finding REAL samurai sauce...
When I lived in Denmark, I wouldn't eat fries without remoulade. Absolutely amazing.
wow, i need to try that. sounds complicated but well worth the attempt.
Remoulade is the dog's bollocks. Testified by a dane who actually worked 2 weeks at the most famous danish remoulade factory (sic!), Graasten Salater!!
Is that good or bad?
edit: typo
I was trying to figure that out as well
Please do not ignore the French-American love child: Ketchard A.K.A. Mustchup (ketchup and mustard). Great with French fries too.
And corn dogs.
I call it Mestup, personally.
I feel like mayonnaise and ketchup together wouldn't be too awful...wait...isn't that what thousand island dressing is? Haha.
no, 1000island is mayo and ketchup, i think
No, you're both wrong. Thousand Island is mayonnaise and ketchup.
oh you're right, it is mayo and ketchup, guess I got confused there for a second and thought it was mayo and ketchup.

Add some Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and Tony's.
Add curry powder to your mayonnaise. Then add your mayonnaise and curry to almost anything you would eat with plain mayonnaise or sriracha and mayonnaise. That is all.
Curry mayo is pretty great, we used to have it as the sauce for a chicken sandwich at my old work. One drawback to it is that you cannot make a large batch of it and expect it to last. I swear the curry powder breaks down the mayo somehow, because when sales of the curry mayo sandwich were slow our mayo texture would go from normal to runny in the course of a week or so.
Just a heads up to those of you who'd want to try and make a whole jar of the stuff
i've done that for sandwiches, but didn't think to try it for french fries! nice idea.
There's something about a tomato sandwich with fresh baby dill and curry mayonnaise that is unreal.
smoked chicken and curry mayonnaise is amazing too
curry powder + mayo is AMAZING, particularly on sweet potato fries.
It's also fantastic on ham or turkey sandwiches. And BLTs, of course.
mayo and sriracha make a perfect "spicy mayo" for sushi...
that is all.
it's called dynamite sauce
Or vegetables for that matter.
*edit - make sure you add enough sriracha, the mayonnaise cuts the heat nicely
I dip my fries in a homemade BBQ sauce. Ketchup just doesn't cut it anymore.
homemade ketchup is excellent though. it's the sugar that ruins commercial ketchup.
I think most commercial ketchups are HFCS (just like most commercial BBQ). Not to be pedantic.
I think you think correctly.
To be fair, HFCS is still sugar.
No, high fructose corn syrup is not sugar. It is a sugar substitute.
Smoked tomato ketchup is also amazing. It really kicks regular ketchup up a notch.
where do you get that? is it commercially produced and bottled or something little speciality places make?
I had it at a restaurant in Toronto called The Beer Bistro. A friend of mine worked in the kitchen and told me that the smoked ketchup was mostly Heinz with some smoked tomatoes made on site thrown in.
My guess is you could make some homemade ketchup, smoke some tomatoes on your BBQ and throw it all in a blender for a product that's even better than the restaurant above.
Uhhh can you post a recipe for homemade BBQ?
Sure: This makes about.... 10oz or so of sauce. I usually double it and make a batch every few months. This is pretty spicy as that's how our family likes it. You can obviously play with the hotness by cutting back on the red pepper.
Then
After it cools down a bit, I pulse the sauce in a blender for a bit to make it nice and smooth. I have an old ketchup bottle I commandeered that I keep the sauce in.
Tabasco and mayo is pretty sublime.
Pour it over scallops and broil. You'll lead a fuller life.
Thank you for this wonderful gastronomic invention! That is all.

hah! i knew that tasted too good to be original :)
Interesting. I've known about fries + sriracha, but I always have to watch how much I use or else it'll get too spicy. This is a combination I'll have to try sometime soon.

you've never...had mayonnaise...on fries...
HOW HAVE YOU LIVED?
Here's what you all need to know about mayo:
blank + mayo is a great sauce for blank.
Things I've put in the first blank that were absolutely delicious: ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, horseradish sauce, balsamic vinegar, you get the idea...
i've done horseradish and mustard (indeed, all combinations of {horseradish, mustard, mayo} are delicious), but ketchup and mayo is too sweet for me. not tried barbecue sauce.
FYI: ketchup and mayo together is called fry sauce in the western states, so if you drive through and see it at a restaurant you'll be in the know.
P.S. you can always play with combination levels to make things more or less like whatever you're mixing the mayo with.
useful tip, thanks :) thousand island dressing is mostly mayo and ketchup too; i've learnt to avoid that.
i've lived in california my entire life and i've never heard of that, liar.
Well, when I think of midwestern states I think of the great plains region, so what are the western states called between the midwest and california?
You mean cock sauce?
yep. add mayo and you get creamy cock sauce!
original.
Gotta get you a jar of Mustardayonnaise.
That is all. That is all.
also good on fries: malt vinegar
that is all.
yeah, that's what i normally put on them. felt like trying something different this time.
Also good, In N' Out's special sauce. I've tried finding copycat recipes to no avail. Anyone out there have a close approximation?
Kraft 1000 Island Dressing.
...animal style "sauce"?
Right, it's also on their regular burgers. Just listed as 'spread' on their menu. Looks like Thousand Island is pretty close.
Honestly, I can't gag malt vinegar on fries.
