Slartibartfast Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't usually care all that much for tater tots. I will eat ketchup with fries or homefries, sometimes I get crazy and mix my ketchup with Sriracha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Where I live, it's fry sauce. A strange mixture of ketchup and mayo, sometimes with a little pickle relish mixed in. Sounds disgusting, but actually quite good! Isn't that Russian dressing? (It sounds YUM! to me :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If we're talking about french fries and not just tater tots or home fries... Well, french fries are also terrific with just salt or salt & vinegar, but they also make a great base for poutine... I was wondering if people from elsewhere (I'm from Canada) eat poutine. Fries with brown gravy, cheese curds, and sometimes vinegar. Especially good topped with shredded short ribs. Is poutine available in other countries? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I was wondering if people from elsewhere (I'm from Canada) eat poutine. Fries with brown gravy, cheese curds, and sometimes vinegar. Especially good topped with shredded short ribs. Is poutine available in other countries? Good poutine isn't here, but some places try. We get our fix at least once per year when we head to Canada. I grew up on the border (US side) so consider myself a dual citizen even if it technically isn't true. I have noticed I have several more Canadian than American traits - and I like it that way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I voted for ketchup because it's what I turn to more frequently, but some of my alternatives: French Fries: malt vinegar or mayo sometimes breakfast potatoes: mustard or hot sauce tater tots - don't eat these much, but ketchup or sour cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Tater tots or french fries = ketchup Hash browns or home fries= nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yes, those Canadians. :ohmy: It's not just Canadians. In real New Orleans po' boy shops - I mean like an old one in mid city - you can get a French fry po' boy with brown gravy. It's the po'est of the po' boys, to be sure.

Rosie_0801 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I was wondering if people from elsewhere (I'm from Canada) eat poutine. Fries with brown gravy, cheese curds, and sometimes vinegar. Especially good topped with shredded short ribs. Is poutine available in other countries? I actually saw it on a menu in a little town on the Queensland coast. I hope to go back and order some one day, but I didn't see it until after I'd ordered their (apparently) award winning crab sandwich. I just know my life will not be complete until I've eaten poutine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I replied combo. It really depends on the form of fried potatoes and who prepared them (they can vary widely). Chic-fil-a waffle fries: salt, pepper, mayo. Arby's curly fries: horsey sauce! Tater tots baked on a pan in my oven: salt & pepper, much of the time with ketchup (or catsup, if you prefer that spelling). Other seasonings and condiments are fair game if they are on offer or being served with the accompanying other foods. I haven't tried vinegar yet, but I guess I should! But my favorite is potatoes roasted in my oven, usually with a bit of oil, salt & pepper, and whatever other seasonings I feel like when I make them. Tarragon is great, or oregano, marjoram, even sage.... Whatever goes into what else is being served! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We put a tiny sprinkle of salt on the home made chips, but no sauce/dippy stuff. Tater tots, we have never actually made them. If we did I'd imagine we'd have them with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream, same as potato wedges. ETA: OK just realized that 'home fries' doesn't mean normal fries made at home, but something more like baked potatoes. So, we normally only have those with roasts, and the kids usually put gravy on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutingmom Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Tater tots - forget them Home fries -not sure what style you mean.... if the little cubes fried up - nothing. Larger - ketchup. French fries - ketchup. Or ketchup and vinegar if good quality fries. But, being Canadian - I also like a good Poutine - especially with bacon added!

HRAAB Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Homemade fry sauce or 1000 Island. If there is none, I might do ranch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Tater tots get ketchup. Fries get ketchup or gravy depending on my mood. If they get gravy though, I usually go in search of cheese curds to add to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyThreeSons Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I voted none, but that is assuming that they have been properly salted. Regular salt is okay; some sort of seasoned salt is better; Bojangle's seasoning is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaelAldrich Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Ketchup but also amba (sour/bitter mango chutney from Iran) and/or z'hug (herb/hot pepper condiment. Blame Israel! :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn121 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I voted ketchup and other. It depends on my mood. There are a couple of scenarios that decide what I have with tater tots and fries. 1. I am in a British mood and have malt vinegar. 2. Just ketchup becasue it is simple. 3. We are having chicken nuggets with them so I need honey mustard. 4. Nothing. Most likely because I am driving and I can't use a condiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Depends on what I have available. Out to eat, always french fries and blue cheese dressing. At home (since I can't find a blue cheese that I like from the store), it's usually sour cream with seasoning salt mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IfIOnly Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I am total Pacific Northwest! We put either ketchup or ranch on everything! For me, if there is already salt on the item then I go with ketchup, but no salt means I go for the ranch. My husband is very much southern. He only eats ketchup if it is mixed with mayo. He thinks all my ketchup and ranch eating (and our son's) is rather gross. Yes! Though I'll add BBQ sauce to you ketchup and ranch. Fry sauce? Ewww.

TammyinTN Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We use ketchup, but not just any ketchup.....curry ketchup...it's so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfOrdinary Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I was just about to say the same thing. He must be a transplant. I'm Georgia southern with deep roots. I never heard of mixing mayo and ketchup for fries until I moved to Utah as a young adult. It *should* be a southern thing bc we sure love mayo. It's a Louisiana bayou thing. They do it spicy and non spicy (though you are considered a wimp). Really common in French Cajun areas. Eaten with Crawfish a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
