The Arctic Circle is a fast food restaurant based primarily in the western US. They are known for their Angus beef burgers, fried halibut, and their famous "secret" fry sauce. However, it's not so much a secret when you can make it yourself with this copycat recipe! You can use whatever amounts you like, just use equal amounts of each ingredient. Or, if you like a stronger flavor of one of the ingredients feel free to adjust it. This sauce is great on french fries of course but it's also good in place of mayo on a sandwich or as a dipping sauce for other fried foods.

I grew up eating Arctic Circle Frys with Arctic sauce and the closest to the original is 2/3 Miracle Whip to 1/3 catsup, that is the ratio. You can mix in the above additions stated by the other commenters, my family likes this mix and say it tastes close to the original fry sauce

My husband and I were a management team. Pickle juice was used in the burger sauce but not the fry sauce.

June 23, 2019I'm 75 and a Utah native. For years my friends and I tried to duplicate Arctic Circle's fry sauce. This buttermilk version is very close. The only thing missing are the tiny red specs throughout the sauce. Those little red specs are bits of paprika. Not enough paprika to flavor the sauce. Just enough to have little red flecks showing up throughout. Back in the day when each Arctic Circle made its own sauce the employees did use juice from the gallon size dill pickle jars.

I ate Arctic Circle since 1970, in Longview Washington. Woo Hoo. I live in Texas now, so thanks for the recipe. I ranked it pretty close to 3-Clowns Burgers but they closed. So AC is right up there for grunge-burgers. Cap'n Yobi's is perhaps almost as good.

As a life long Utahn, 40 + years, for those that don't know, Arctic Circle is a Utah based Burger chain that started Fry sauce. Here is my recipe. Equal parts Mayo and Ketchup. Half cup Mayo, half cup ketchup. A couple tablespoons of Buttermilk. Two to 3 TBSP of pickle juice. I havemore elaborate versions that add garlic powder and onion powder, just no the time.

September 8, 2016I use less buttermilk to make it thicker and use it on burgers. I've also used it in coleslaw instead of plain mayo! Gave it quite a yummy kick.

Also A/C hamburger sauce is great. 1 part ketchup, 8 parts mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, and a bit of buttermilk to thin if needed.

Joanna REVIEW:
September 7, 2014We don't use equal parts of all three, use equal amounts mayo and ketchup then thin to desired consistency with the buttermilk. We use it as a dipping sauce for fried shrimp.
