My wife loves Frank’s RedHot Sauce so this French Fry Dipping Sauce recipe was a win-win for us.
If you don’t happen to have any Frank’s RedHot on hand you can substitute for just about any other brand of Hot Sauce but you may have to adjust the amount to your liking.

You all know how much I love using my Instant Pot. So when they released an Air Fryer Lid to go with my Instant Pot, I just had to get one! And I did! If you want one as well, check out the official online Instant Pot store.
The dilemma I had was what was I going to make the first time in my new Air Fryer Lid? Took me a few seconds to make some fries in it. I mean it doesn’t get much easier than that, does it? And I’m talking about frozen french fries to boot!
This post is not about my new toy (Air Fryer Lid), but you all know I will be posting a bunch of recipes soon! BTW, our favorite type of frozen fries is ORE-IDA. They also make awesome frozen onion rings.
Ok back to this recipe. I almost always dip my french fries in ketchup. I guess I am just old school like that. But I was dying to try this French Fry Dipping Sauce so everything worked out perfectly!
Looking at the ingredients you would think this dipping sauce is really hot. Well, it’s not actually. It’s all about the ratios. if you do make this dipping sauce and somehow find it too hot, cut back on the chili powder and/or the hot sauce.
If you prefer your dipping sauce to have a little more kick to it, you need to make my Sriracha Honey Sauce.
