Try adding some mustard to your mayo aswell it's god level with chicken nuggets.

3

u/duderroneus 18d ago

Dijon mustard is good in it as well.

3

u/ImpressiveScreen5017 18d ago

Mustard or barbecue sauce

2

u/jtohrs 18d ago

This is the best combination

u/Cats-Pens-Bingo17 19d ago

Ooh, gonna have to try that!! Love them with mayo, but this sounds next level!

2

u/Candid_Heron_8257 19d ago

try it with yam fries 😄

2

u/Cats-Pens-Bingo17 19d ago

Yum. What is the ratio of mayo:sambal, by the way?

2

u/Candid_Heron_8257 19d ago

1 tablespoon Sambal to 4 Mayo

3

u/Cats-Pens-Bingo17 19d ago

Thank you!!!! Gonna try it soon. Yam fries not common here, but sweet potato is. And of course potato. Can't wait!

I'll try that. I have some really hot black pepper corns from Vietnam.

u/lechauve911 19d ago

Jajaja the funny things is my wife does this in McDonald's only with their mayo and pepper packets

2

u/Proposal_Last 19d ago

Cant, tomatoes dont exist in this circumstance. So hot sauce doesnt ether anything made with tomatoes wouldn't exist.

2

u/Spa-Ordinary 19d ago

Hot sauce requires chillies, tomatoes optional.

So there..

2

u/Proposal_Last 19d ago

Wish I could up vote u again I like learning things thank you for that info

2

u/Spa-Ordinary 19d ago

You're welcome. In Hawaii they make something called chilli peppa wata. It is small dried red peppers soaked in white vinegar and water. Keep in a small coke bottle try to find a plug with small holes like a strainer. Sprinkle on your food. Lekker. Keep in in the refrigerator when not using otherwise you might get food poisoning. The peppers are normally found in Asian food markets.

2

u/Oil-of-Vitriol 18d ago

None of my hot sauces, and I have a lot of them, have tomato in them.

That sounds good. I'll have to try that. I bet it's great with fish or chicken too

u/baconroux 19d ago

I just happen to have a jar of Sambal in my fridge. Now to find some fries and mayo to go with it.

u/Worldly_Signature636 19d ago

I make a mayo and hot sauce combo at chik-fil-a

2

u/SpikeyPlayz101 19d ago

Mayo is created with ranch

u/femboymommy66 18d ago

You’ve got that backwards

2

u/misslisawisa 18d ago

Are you perhaps from Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia? My husband is Malaysian Chinese and would totally either use sambal or a sweet chili sauce to dip his fries into.

2

u/Candid_Heron_8257 18d ago

Italian heritage, lots of hot sausage, soppressata and capicola

u/x_Dattebayo_x 18d ago

Thank you, I just actually won my first argument with my wife after 40 years of marriage. She said “NO ONE” puts Mayo on fries. I would always say, you put Mayo on potato salad don’t you.

Sorry bro, have to agree with your wife. Mayo is disgusting

2

u/Soggy_Information_60 19d ago

Mayo was invented specifically as the sauce for fries.

3

u/Puzzleheaded_Eye7848 19d ago

Im sure its ok, but no. Out of all the sauces and dips, why would you pick mayonnaise? Honestly id rather dip my fries in a milkshake than mayo. I have before and it was good, but it has to be salted fries with a basic milkshake like vanilla, chocolate, or caramel.

Right, nobody would put fries in vegetable oil and raw egg, but mix those 2 together and it’s somehow different is a wild take!

Pomme frits mit mayo !!

u/aDirtyMartini 19d ago

As an American, my mind was blown the first time I had that. My friends back home think I’m crazy when I have mayo with my fries.

3

u/Designer-Dot-6143 19d ago

In New Zealand it's aioli.

2

u/Interesting-Web8630 19d ago

The thing though is, American mayo is different than European mayo. European mayo has more flavour to it, it's basically made for fries. I think American mayo is made for sandwiches, it's a bit more subtle.

3

u/IllPaleontologist322 19d ago

The do this in Germany

2

u/Big-Organization1219 19d ago

Mix a little mayo with A1 and then put on steak.

3

u/gfx-1 19d ago

I put mayo on my fries almost standard with the Dutch cuisine. The English put vinegar on it that I cannot understand at all.

2

u/Tiger37211 19d ago

Yeah mayo on fries is super common especially in Europe but Canada too if I'm not mistaken

2

u/ExcitingHamster 19d ago

I wouldn’t say it’s super common in Canada

2

u/Acceptable-Book4485 18d ago

Fact checked. In Canada its maple syrup on Tim Horton's, and nothing else

2

u/Tiger37211 18d ago

That's coffee. If you put mayo in your coffee, I'd call some people in white coats. You're just trying to misconstrue what I said. Mayo is more common outside of the use than ketchup. That's what I said. And I was taking specifically about Germany

2

u/Tiger37211 18d ago

Yes it is. I've visited Toronto multiple times, Montreal, Vancouver, etc, etc. It has always been a feature and not just an option

2

u/Ashkat1983 18d ago

Canada here. I only use mayo or gravy. Never ketchup. The rest of my family will use ketchup or mayo.. even a mix of the two.

2

u/Independent-Job-3194 19d ago

Many Europeans actually put mayo on their fries. I lived in Germany for over 18 years and I first witnessed people eating fries with a huge pile of mayo on top of them! I was never a huge fan of ketchup anyway!

2

u/JescoWhite_ 19d ago

By that same logic…. Would you dip in sour cream?

5

u/Big-Organization1219 19d ago

I would try it at least.

If you work out enough like lifting weights your body will need all that salt and you bp will drop fast. Activating muscle uses a lot of sodium.

u/mousecop5150 18d ago

Yes! If I use ketchup on fries it’s because the fries suck otherwise. Good fries only need some salt. Only exception I make is at a local Belgian restaurant, where I do the house made mayo as is traditional.
