The ultimate sauce guide: Which sauce goes with which fry snack?

Deep-fried snacks are incredibly popular in the Netherlands. Whether it's for a quick snack or a drinks party, we like to reach for snacks from the fryer. But what is a good snack without the right sauce? In this blog we dive into the world of deep-fried snacks and show you which sauce goes best with your favorite snack.

What sauce goes with French fries?

Let's start with the classic: French fries. French fries go well with many sauces, but the most popular remains mayonnaise. The creaminess of mayo goes perfectly with crispy fries. If you prefer something sweeter, ketchup is also a top choice. For the real lovers of mixes, fries special (with mayonnaise, ketchup and onions) is a delicious combination.

When serving fries, it is important to have a suitable container that is not only sturdy, but also has room for both the fries and the sauce. These trays and cone bags are ideal for fries. The tip pocket with sauce compartment keeps your fries crisp and gives enough room for a big blob of sauce without making a mess. The A22 French fry pouches are spacious and sturdy, perfect for a large serving of fries with sauce.

What sauce goes with frikandel?

These A16 frikandel trays are perfect for serving frikandells. They are long and sturdy, so the frikandel stays firmly in place. Made from sustainable materials such as sugar cane and kraft, these trays ensure that your snack stays neat and no grease or sauce gets through the tray.
