My Hunt for the Original McDonald’s French-Fry Recipe

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of shitty "frituurs" in Belgium that just fry bought frozen fries instead of the double fried freshly cut ones. Problem is, they get taken over by new owners very quickly (also the the barrier to entry the market is very low).

Although checking out the Google Reviews before a visit filtering by the Belgian names of the reviewers' is generally a good enough measure to go by.

But please, do try them with mayo!

For anyone in the UK looking for the same kind of mayonnaise that you get in Belgium, the closest I've found is this Polish one, available from Tesco or your local Polski sklep.

It's astonishing to me that mayo is not the default dipping sauce for fries in the US, considering mayo is put on everything in the US.

Mayo with hot sauce is my favorite fry dip by a staggering margin.

Utah has a local condiment called "fry-sauce" which is I believe equal parts ketchup and mayo, and some pickle juice. It's pretty good.

On the rare occasions I make fries at home, I like to mix some curry powder into mayo for dipping, a taste I acquired on a trip to Italy.
