- Homemade Aioli – a creamy garlicky sauce that is made from scratch, basically homemade garlic mayo, also good with burgers, or grilled meat.

Fry Sauce Varieties:
Different restaurants serve different styles of fry sauce, with a variety of seasonings, or other twists. For example Red Robin’s Camp Fire Sauce is similar to fry sauce but with barbecue sauce instead of ketchup.
- Try substituting barbecue sauce instead of ketchup in the recipe.
- Add in some delicious spices like black pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt, or paprika. Add about 1 teaspoon of whichever spice you want to add.
- Add a kick with with some hot sauce or cayenne pepper, to taste.
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!
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.

Aimee says
I haven’t seen multiple mayonnaises besides different brands, any should work.
