Fry sauce is a condiment common in Utah. It is a simple combination of ketchup and mayonnaise, a combination also referred to as "Russian dressing" by non-Utahns. It resembles Thousand Island dressing but is smoother and creamier.

Fry sauce is sold at Arctic Circle restaurants around Utah and nearby states. Other restaurants in the region (Crown Burgers, Hires Big H , Apollo Burger ) sell their own versions of the sauce. It is also available mail-order from a number of Utah companies.

Until 1999, Utah franchise locations of McDonalds also carried fry sauce. The chain stopped stocking the condiment because of the high waste it produced: because of its mayonnaise content, the sauce goes bad after a single day if left unrefrigerated, and any leftovers must be discarded.

Among the most expensive souvenir pins during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City depicted fry sauce. Originally sold for $7.50, these pins became valued at over $60 before the olympic games started.
