“There isn’t one of my friends that won’t tell you I’m obsessed with ketchup. Sometimes I joke about getting a small packet of ketchup tattooed on my body (it would be kind of cute, no?!). Ketchup is by far my favorite condiment and I always order extra, especially with french fries,” writes Van Lierde.
“Simple as this idea may be, whenever I put this french fry platter down with homemade dipping sauces, it’s almost impossible to turn this universal favorite food away,” she added. “Pick and choose your favorite fries and make one or all three of the dipping sauces for serving.”
You might have leftovers of each sauce, in which case you know firing up a grilled cheese or burger for dipping purposes is the way to go.
