When it comes to preparing food for the big game, I am all about making a lot. I especially love making lots of dips to go with bags and bags of chips – but I’ve found a new favorite. French fries and dipping sauces. I can just pick up a couple bags of Alexia Frozen French Fries from Walmart, and make a few easy to make dips and I am good to go.
Alexia has Classic Crinkle Cut Fries, Crispy Onion Rings or Sweet Potato Fries and they are all delicious!
They just cook up in the oven for about 20-25 minutes so I can get all my dips ready while they are cooking and then I’m ready to watch the game. Well, I’ll be honest, we usually like to have some friends over to our house to watch the game and I end up chatting a way with a couple of girl friends, unless there’s a big play or a funny commercial on.
The 3 dips I made to go with my Alexia fries were garlic aioli, cheese sauce and fry sauce, along with some good old Ketchup and Ranch dressing of course!
Fry sauce is a Utah thing – you can get it at almost every local burger place. Its basically a combination of mayonaise, ketchup and a teeny bit of pickle juice. Its my favorite.
Garlic Aioli is basically mayonnaise seasoned with garlic, a little lemon juice and salt and pepper. This was my favorite time making it, and it was really good too. I especially liked the garlic taste with the sweet sweet potato fries. If you like garlic you will love this sauce.
The cheese sauce I made is super simple, its just melted Velveeta, thinned out with some milk. It was hot and cheesy and a good variety to the other cool dips.

Please don’t call that Aioli. Aioli/Allioli is made from olive oil and garlic. That’s it only two ingredients. I live in the region that invented it.
Aimee says
Here in the US a lot of people call aioli to mean anything that is a flavored mayonaise, especially with garlic. Sorry you aren’t happy with my recipe for it.

For french fries which mayonnaise i used a dip mayonnaise and a dressing mayonnaise..
Aimee says
I haven’t seen multiple mayonnaises besides different brands, any should work.
