What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Dill pickle juice- You can pour this directly out of the pickle jar.
- Paprika- This recipe uses smoked paprika, which adds a nice flavor. The sweet and hot paprika can work, but the Fry Sauce won’t have quite the same taste.
- Worcestershire sauce- This salty, umami sauce really deepens the flavors.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Add horseradish sauce- Give this sauce some kick with a little horseradish sauce or grated horseradish.
- Substitute the ketchup- Instead of ketchup, make the base of this sauce barbecue sauce for a sweeter flavor.
- Make it spicy- Add some cayenne pepper or hot pickle juice to give this sauce some heat.
- Add dill relish- This chunky addition gives the sauce more tang and flavor.
How to Make Fry Sauce
Pro Tip: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Recipe Tips
- Strain your pickle juice- If you’re pouring your juice directly out of the pickle jar, strain it through a sieve to catch any seeds before they get in your Fry Sauce.
- Use full-fat mayonnaise- This gives the sauce a rich and creamy texture and flavor. Lower-fat mayo doesn’t have quite the same mouth-feel.
- Double the recipe- This scrumptious sauce is worth having extra of. Make a double batch and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it again.
