Ketchup on fries is fine, but mayo is the superior dip. amirite?

In the Netherlands this is standard, so it's not that unpopular

As a Belgian: your mayo is inferior.

That's very true, even though it depends where you put it on. In some cases the tanginess is not better than regular mayo, but for fries: definately

In America we don't have standards on dipping because there are lots of choices, mayo being one of many

Try tatar sauce

Must be from the Pacific NW. Discovered this when I moved to Washington in the 90s. Best fries dip that's commonly served. Garlic (habenaro) aoli is the king dip imho.

Tartar sauce is great, or a mix of ketchup and tartar sauce. We discovered that at "Arthur Treacher's" back in the 70s In Northeast Ohio, when I was in highschool (there was an Arthur Treacher's right across the street). The tartar sauce gives it a nice snappy flavor against the ~somewhat bland fries.

Depends what quality mayo, many buy the cheapest and hate all the mayo after never giving a try to a good one

I hate to break it to you, but you're adopted. I think you're Dutch

The mayo they use is so much better than what we can get in the US though. I've tried making something similar and it never quite does it.

Hmm, could be Belgian too though 🤔. We'll need to measure the softness of OP's g's to be sure.

I make a mix of ketchup (2 parts) mayo (1 part) and a glob of brown mustard If ketchup still tasted the same as it did 20, 30 years ago I'd just use ketchup.

My buddy makes his own "ketchup." It's pretty good. He doesn't like the texture or sweetness of the store bought version Tomato paste Soy sauce Garlic powder Paprika Little splash balsamic vinegar

Down voting because I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. Perhaps in some geographies.

This opinion is very popular in Germany.

Garlic Aioli is the actual right answer here.

by VegetableOk 3 hours ago

Mayo alone, hell no. It has no flavor. A good aioli? I agree. It needs something other than then egg whites, oil and lemon juice.
