Why This Recipe Works

When paired with sweet potato fries, regular ketchup can be cloyingly sweet. Instead, we took a cue from the Belgians and created a sauce based on creamy mayonnaise that would balance the sweetness of sweet potato fries. To the mayo we added Asian chili-garlic sauce for a spicy punch and some white vinegar to cut the richness.
