Classic additions to fries
French fries with ketchup or with mayonnaise are the most common way of serving them. No wonder, ketchup and mayonnaise (and often even a combination of the two) is a must-have addition for many French fries lovers. But French fries with other additions are starting to appear more often on the menus. For those who want to offer new flavours to their local customers and serve French fries in a new way, we have some appealing suggestions.
Serving French fries with a dip
All kinds of sauces go well with fries. Those based on mayonnaise as well as tomatoes or yoghurt will work great. You can prepare garlic, mustard, dill or the (now iconic) tzatziki dip in just a few moments. Of course, they can also be served with other sauces depending on the preference of the customer. When serving French fries with sauces, it is a good idea to consider the choice of packaging for French fries. It is also a good idea to put the sauce in a separate container. This ensures that the sauce does not spill out during transport and the fries retain their crispiness longer than fries served together with sauce.
French fries with fresh herbs
French fries with fresh herbs? That’s right! They will ensure the dish has a fresh, herbal aroma and a very appealing appearance. Chop the chives or the arugula into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the crispy fries. The green of the herbs and the golden colour of the fries work beautifully together and are certainly inviting to have a taste.
Crispy fries with roasted onions
Roasted onions are another idea for adding variety to your fries. Simply pour some mayonnaise sauce over the fries and sprinkle with onions. The intense flavour of the onions combined with the pleasant crunching… such a combination will please any lover of these potato snacks.

The right composition of herbs, spices and salt will give the fries a completely new taste, as well as a pleasant aroma. It makes the fries look very appealing.
