I have been making homemade mayonnaise for quite some time. There are a couple recipes out there for it. Most do not taste like store bought mayonnaise at all. Some people like homemade better and some (The Hardworking Husband) do not. I recently found a recipe that tastes closer to store bought.
I like to use mayonnaise made with olive oil instead of canola or whatever other oil they use for store bought. When using olive oil to make mayonnaise, you need to use an oil that isn’t extra virgin. (I learned the hard way it’s important that it isn’t extra virgin) I recommend extra light.

Fry sauce is something you can get in restaurants in the Utah, Idaho and a few other areas in the Northwest. And as it’s name reflects, it is a sauce to dip your French fries in. You can find fry sauce in other areas of the world but usually called something else.
While I have no proof of this, I believe it comes from a mix of cultures. I know that the Belgian used mayonnaise to dip their fries in. My great grandmother was Bavarian. She would dip many foods in mayonnaise including green beans. We as Americans generally use ketchup to dip our fries in. So I think the two cultures came together and we get fry sauce.
Now making fry sauce is super easy, but it is so tasty.
Fry Sauce
1 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
Mix the two ingredients together thoroughly. Serve with hot french fries.

Ya know, Kerry – I used to make homemade mayonnaise when I was a very young teen (which was a very LONG time ago), but I’ve never made it since. Thanks for posting this recipe. Might just have to give it a whirl again! You’re right about it not tasting like commercial mayo, but it has a goodness all it’s own. Have a great day!
You’re right, it does have it has a goodness all it’s own. I love it and The Hardworking Husband has grown to like it.
Oh how I love fry sauce! I miss it being served with almost every meal in Utah, but hardly anywhere else 🙁 Thanks for sharing your recipe!
It is so good. My friends in Texas think it looks terrible and refuse to try it. They don’t know what they are missing.
There was a burger joint in college that had a fry sauce that I loved! I was so bummed when the place closed before I graduated…it was such a treat!
When I lived in Texas I had to make it myself. It is so nice to have it already made and ready for you at restaurants. I’m glad to be back in the land of fry sauce.
