Did you look at the Galatoire's potatoes I posted?

So was I... It's a hotly debated topic that doesn't have an undisputed genesis.

The bearnaise sauce is delicious, but I'm sure Galatoire's could accommodate your wishes to have some Blue Plate.

I think a crispy french fry is a wonderful vehicle for well made tartar sauce which is one of my favorite condiments for fries.
Go to Denmark and get your fries with a king sized glob of mayo. In Copenhagen for business. They looked at like I was a freak for not trying it. I was a good American and told them no thanks, with no criticism of their fondness for about a half cup of mayo with their fries.

You should have tried it. That's the way it's done in most of Northern Europe. I actually like it.

Belgium
Belgium is considered to be the birthplace of the fried potato. Belgian fries (frites) are the centerpiece of a meal, not just a side dish. And Belgian chefs are very proud of their fries, competing to serve the best in their chip shops, or frietkotten. They are served hot in cardboard cones to make them easy to eat as you stroll, and a variety of sauces are offered to top them.
Netherlands
Fries in the Netherlands are cooked in the manner of Belgian fries, but Americans may be dismayed by the Dutch choice of condiment: mayonnaise. Dutch mayonnaise is a little spicier than American mayonnaise, and Yanks who’ve lived there become used to the flavor on their fries, and often grow to love it.

I dated a Swedish girl in culinary school, that dipped her fries first in aioli, then in ketchup. It wasn't bad but I prefer my fried potatoes au naturale with just a liberal amount of salt.

ketchup and fries were made for each other.

I had visitors that put ketchup on their eggs.

That is how I ate them growing. I stopped when my mother ran over my foot with a lawnmower. When they took my shoe off the top of my foot looked like scrambled eggs with ketchup. Never again.

fries are not an end to themselves in general.
i like to mix sirachi and mayo and dip my fries in that. i like dipping fries in blue cheese dip, ranch dip, chickfila sauce, remoulade, buffalo sauce, white gravy, etc etc.
whats wrong with having a variety of things to dip your fries in? variety is the spice of life andif all you ever do is put ketchup out of a foil packet
on your fries you're missing out.This post was edited on 5/20/21 at 11:00 am

Unpopular opinion: Condiments are best used for hiding flaws.
I wouldn't go that far; a good aioli is an outstanding complement to fries.
However, American ketchup is a garbage-tier condiment. I can't think of anything other than cocktail sauce that would not be improved by replacing ketchup with something else or omitting it entirely.
