Ingredients

Scale

Primary Sauce Ingredients:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup ketchup

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Spice and Optional Ingredients:

  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Gather a small mixing vessel and combine the creamy mayonnaise with tangy ketchup, creating a vibrant base for the signature sauce.
  2. Splash in the briny pickle juice, which adds an unexpected zesty complexity to the developing condiment.
  3. Incorporate a dollop of sharp mustard and a few dashes of rich Worcestershire sauce, whisking thoroughly to ensure a uniform blend.
  4. Sprinkle in the warm paprika, aromatic garlic powder, and subtle onion powder, stirring until the spices are completely integrated.
  5. Introduce a few drops of fiery hot sauce to elevate the flavor profile with a gentle heat undertone.
  6. Assess the sauce’s seasoning, carefully adjusting with a pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper to balance the overall taste.
  7. Transfer the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate for a minimum of half an hour, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
  8. Once chilled, unveil your secret sauce and serve alongside crispy fries, golden tater tots, juicy burgers, or any preferred dippable delicacy.

Notes

  • Pickle juice adds a tangy kick that elevates the traditional fry sauce, creating a more complex flavor profile.
  • Experiment with different hot sauce varieties to customize the heat level and bring unique regional tastes to your condiment.
  • Letting the sauce chill allows the spices to meld together, intensifying the overall taste and creating a more cohesive blend.
  • Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for a lighter, dietary-friendly alternative that maintains the creamy texture.
