(13,971 posts)Frequently replenishing my plate from the bottle of ketchup that I sit next to me so I can re-squirt after dipping each fry for as much ketchup it can possibly hold.

(13,832 posts)I used to like it when I was young.
When I traveled to Europe I bought some fries from a vendor in Amsterdam and was given some golden mayonnaise as the condiment. The vendor didn't have ketchup so I ate them his way. Yum.
I don't eat lots of fries anymore, but when I do I use a salad dressing or salsa, and if I have any--homemade mayonnaise (but I'm usually not home).

(14 posts)Proper American fries should include the potato peel for more flavor. They should be seasoned with salt and pepper. I rarely use ranch dressing, but it is good as a dip for fries that are bland.

(8,605 posts)Sometimes, I will put some ketchup on the side but it just sits there. I do like ketchup but like the taste of French Fries with salt more. Same with hard boiled eggs🥚 No salt or pepper. I love the taste of just egg.

(75,928 posts)And fries are the only thing I would use ketchup on.
But if available, I'd rather dip them in A-1 or Heinz 57.
