Do you know what today is? It's National Ketchup Day!
Yep, and just like when you give a mouse a cookie he's gonna need milk. If you give a nation some ketchup they're gonna need fries!!!!
So those of you who have been following know that I'm in Idaho. The time I've spent here has made it my absolute favorite place that I’ve ever been to in the States. I mean, I haven’t been to all of the states, but I think I’ve had a pretty good taste of most of them. At least enough to be familiar with each area. For example, I know that I could never survive living in certain areas of the mid-west very long without going crazy over the flat boring landscapes. We drove through a lot of that when we moved and I have to say that the isolated feeling in some of the places kind of gave me the creeps.
Don’t get me wrong though, there are so many places that I love. Like I spent a lot of summers in Florida growing up and I’ve also been to the West Coast, but there was just something about this area that I fell in love with. I love the wildlife and all of the pine forests. You can even see moose and deer all the time, oh and the winter snow was incredible!
Anyway, if you’ve ever been in the North West then you may have discovered the phenomenon known as fry sauce at every food joint you visit. The thing that I find hilarious about it is that most of the recipes have about 3 ingredients with very little variation between them and yet everyone thinks that one certain burger joint or another has the best fry sauce and they have their loyal favorite. It’s pretty funny.
Fry sauce is seriously the easiest thing ever and hardly counts as a recipe, plus it has ketchup in it. It does however compliment, you guessed it, (french fries! ) perfectly. I made it to go with these oven fries that I made that are almost equally simple to the sauce and so good you’ll forget they’re not technically fried.

Hi @gringalicious, please may I have the recipe. Thanks.
Oven-baked fries are the best. And you are in the state that grows so many of the potatoes specifically for fries - so you really had no choice, you had to make them! ; ) I like that your fry sauce has more than 3 ingredients, too. Enjoy your time in Idaho. It is beautiful country, for sure!
Thanks so much @haphazard-hstead. I am having a marvelous time here. It may turn into something bigger, stay tuned
I lived in Idaho for a few years and miss the fry sauce so much!!! I had never heard of it before moving there and can't find it anywhere on the east coast. My husband is going to be so excited for this recipe THANK YOU!
Oh, you are so welcome. Where in Idaho?

There has to be a day for everything. But first time I heard of Ketchup Day! 😀😀
I know, me too! There is practically a food holiday for every day of the year and some are way more ridiculous than others. Thanks for commenting @danielsaori!
Those look way healthier than the friends I usually eat, but I'm sure just as delicious! :-)
They are definitely a great way to lighten them up a bit. I hope you can try them sometime @scaredycatguide and thanks!
Hmmm...seems no one has yet requested the recipe. This looks like something I can even make. Those look like fresh sliced potatoes.
So how to we make them gringa?
Ah nevermind, I see it just went up minutes before. Thanks!
Whose to say who was first to request, upvoted anyway. Thanks for requesting, I love the engagement!

That looks delicious! Thanks much for the recipe!
especially for the fry sauce; I liked eating fries in France and Germany cause they serve them with mayo. This is like the best of both worlds!
Totally, I love when that happens! Thank you @ewspears
Thanks again. Gotta try this awesome looking sauce!
Definitely, and you're very welcome @team101!
Looks very tasty, all fat free and carb free right?

You bet, carb free all the way. Thanks so much for commenting @bluehorseshoe

So glad I could inspire. Thanks so much for commenting @bluethread
I need it now :))
I understand that emotion @foxkoit
:)))
Come to taste my Belgian fries :p
I will swing by. Thanks @kenosuke
Now that's a fry sauce worth trying. Mostly I've had the basic 3 ingredients you mention, but now I'm going to try this out. I've had a unique fry sauce at a local restaurant in town called the Beehive Grill. It's some secret proprietary sauce with a smidgen of root beer.
what town is the Beehive Grill in?

Lol
This looks and tastes delicious! Most definitely going to try this!

In my humble opinion, before you do anything else, make an intro post. You'll thank me later, I promise. If you need ideas, go to the introduceyourself tag under trending and you'll be inspired
Those look amazing, but I have to ask -- if it's national ketchup day, where is the KETCHUP?
That's actually a good question. My pics that included the ketchup did not make the cut. But I have to admit, you made a good point. Thanks for taking the time to comment @superskillz, love the name by the way
ohhh very delicious
Thanks @mahaelsayed
Wellll those look scrumptious! Love me some quality fry sauce!
"Love me some quality fry sauce!" That's aweome @jeffjagoe
That looks absolutely delicious!
I will have to try this out soon, I'm sure I will love it
I hope you do @babariagirl, thanks so much for commenting
That looks really good
So glad you liked it @boelie
Omg that looks soooo good! I usually try not to eat potatoes and replace them with parsnip (parsnip oven baked fries), but for this i would love to make an exception!
