Do you dip your French Fries into a sauce such as Ketchup (catsup)? I usually do and sometimes I add mayonnaise and mix it into my Ketchup to dip my fries into. Let me know what dips you use for your French Fries...

I don't like to dip my fries in any thing. I do like to add some extra salt though. I might sprinkle some lemon juice on them if it is available.

I don't like to add more salt to my fries, but a lot of people do. I've never tried lemon juice on my fries...I might have to try this :)

I dip it into ketchup all the time. My friend loves to dip it in ranch dressing... he always says, "Hey, it's good, so I'll eat my fries this way." ... nasty lol

Ranch is pretty good, and on occasion if I don't have ketchup, I will dip my fries into Ranch. I'm not sure if you like Ranch and have tried dipping them in Ranch, but maybe if you try, you might like :)

ranch dressing - ranch dressing hidden valley
It really depends on where I am. Fast food gets ketchup but if I am at a sit down resturant I usually use Ranch dressing. Every once in a while depending on what I am eating I may use barbque sauce. I think its always different with me. I like too many things to stick with just one.

Hot Mustard would definitely give the fries a kick, which I like. A little variety doesn't hurt because then you won't get tired of the same thing. Thanks for responding :)

I like to eat my french fries dipped in ketchup or mayo. If I get them from McDonald's (my favorite french fry) I ask for their sweet and sour sauce to dip them in.

Blah! I only used to dip them in mayonnaise (weird i know... but it was the only thing i liked and the only thing i had with everything lol.) Though since i met my boyfriend... I've been dipping them in tomato ketchup... (And trust me i hated it). I couldn't stand it... The taste used to revolt me. But Seriously- i can't have fries WITHOUT it now... x_x (Guess i changed for my boyfriend eh? haha)

I don't think that dipping fries in plain mayo is weird...I'm sure it is more common than we think :) I think ketchup just gives fries a little "zing". Thanks for posting!

Oh..i love that too. Ketchup & mayonnaise together it's so delicious. I also like fries with brown gravy that is really good. I will sometimes dip plain ripple potato chips in mustard too, i think thats good also. Best wishes.

It depends on the fries- I eat fast food fries by themselves, but with thick cut fries I prefer to eat them with ketchup.

I prefer ketchup to cheee gravy may vingegar ranch dressing or any other topping. I think that the french fry ketchup combination can't be beat.

I'm not sure if "cheee" is a typo it is supposed to say "cheese", but if it is supposed to say cheese, then I have dipped my french fries in cheese before. That's good too :) Thanks for your response!

I always dip my fries in ketchup, I love them together. The only ones I don't dip are the super crispy ones, I love them and like eating them as they are getting a nice crunch. Recently I was introduced to fries in ranch dressing. First you sprinkle the fries with a little seasoning salt, and then you dip them in the ranch dressing it is so good.

Hi, I don't dip my French fries into any sauce, just take it as it is. My nephews and niece (2-8 years old) dip theirs either in tomato sauce or ice-cream! They said it's delicious!

I personally just like ketchup, and a lot of salt! which is why i like McDonald's fries, even after working there and hating most of their food, i still love their fries lol. But that's besides the point. My boyfriend, on the contrary, dips his french fries in a variety of sauces. Since he's a manager of about 1 1/2 years of mostly night shifts, i suppose he's gotten bored of just using ketchup. Once before we were dating, I noticed about 7 or 8 different sauce cups on his tray! He used Ranch, BBQ, Sweet n' Sour, Chipotle BBQ, Hot Mustard, Honey Mustard, Mayonnaise, and even Caramel Dipping sauce. Well i must admit i think i dared him to try the caramel heh. He's also tried dipping fries in a chocolate sundae from his work. An odd selection of sauces yes, but I probably would have done the same thing if I had worked there as long as him =]

Someone's got to do the taste testing, right? Apparently that is your b/f's duty :) Who knows, maybe he will find a winning combination and make lots of money! Thanks for responding!

I figure Ketchup has enough salt, so I don't add extra to my fries and usually don't add extra salt to anything. Thanks for responding! :)

French fries are good dipped in ketchup, ranch dressing, horseradish sauce and even BBQ sauce, if you ask me. That's all good eats.
