What is Fry Dipping Sauce?

Well, first–Fry dipping sauce is delicious.

It’s a popular condiment for everything from fries to plantains all over the world.

Typically, it’s made up of ketchup and mayo. Also known as “Mayochup.” You can buy it bottled in your local grocery condiment aisle. I learned it actually originated in Utah and has a very specific ratio:

one part ketchup to two parts mayo.

You’ll find all variations, often including other ingredients too.
