Ranch Dressing is disgusting.

Blue Cheese Dressing, OTOH. Not for fries, but for wings.

Also, Creamy Caesar Dressing is really good on wings. (I usually have Ken's Steakhouse brand)

My wife, Terri, likes mayo, Helman's Real Mayo, on hers.

I agree with Hawkmoon that salt is sufficient condiment for good fries.
I am in that camp.  I rarely put anything on them.  Popeye's fries are the only ones that I don't add salt to.


However, the gravy that comes with chicken strips or chicken fried steak is good with the fries.

Chili and cheese come to mind, but lately I have been using a blend of sour cream and siracha.

I had to choose Other 'cause you didn't allow multiple choice: ketchup, mustard & mayo mixture.  Usually approx. equal portions of each - with salt. 

All of which are used for dipping.  Dip the fries in the K/M/M mix, then into the pile of salt.

I would not use Blue Cheese Dressing to put out fires either.  Might make a good de-icer, maybe?

Siracha counts as ketchup.

Add sweet pickle relish and some cajun seasoning. We use Buddy's Cajun Spice.  :old:

I'll have to try the relish, stomach won't handle any kind of real spices now-a-days.

ETA: So many uses for sweet pickle relish: potato salad, egg salad, tuna salad, hot dogs, hamburgers, too many more to list.

The buddy's I linked is quite mild unless you use a lot. They have different types.

Might have to give it a try then.  Be aware though, if my stomach objects you'll be seeing a hefty cleaning bill :)

Had fish and chips last night before a concert. I forgot how tasty malt vinegar is on steak fries.

My favorite combo is Arby's curly fries with their BBQ sauce.

The best fries I've ever had were when I was in the Netherlands.  The fries were awesome, but even more so was the truffle mayo sauce, freaking awesome!

Usually if I'm adding salt to fries, it's seasoned salt.

My HS cafeteria had weirdly great french fries for seasoned salt. My little outcast clique always ate outside (even if it was raining) and the only reason we braved the cafeteria was to get our fries and condiments. The main debate between best condiments mixing was between me and another girl. I did ketchup and mustard. She did ketchup and mayo. Many spirited arguments ensued while the ketchup only kids looked on with disdain.

We found some McCormick "Smoked Sea Salt" and it is GREAT stuff. MILD smoke flavor, not overbearing. I keep a small grinder of it next to my recliner!

I used to really love McDonald's Hot Mustard sauce on my fries.
