Never heard of Utah fry sauce, but countless regions around the world have mixed ketchup and mayonnaise for use on fries, or other foods, since the second world war, if not earlier.  In Puerto Rico they've even been bottling and selling the mixture together for decades. It's their "national condiment" if such a thing exists.

Arctic Circle started the whole Utah Fry Sauce thing in the 1940s. Everyone in that region serves it now, even the large chains. Fancier places like Red Robin will jazz it up a little bit with Bbq instead of ketchup.  
If you ask for ketchup at a mom and pop diner, they will look at you sideways, and eventually emerge from the kitchen with a dusty old bottle that no one has used in like 20 years.

I actually like mixing ketchup and mayo for use on fries.  I started doing it after seeing folks in France do it a couple decades ago.

But for tartar sauce, no ketchup please.  But some horseradish is welcome.

Tartar + ketchup tastes different than that stuff pictured.  That reminds me of the sauce at Cane's.  Good stuff, love it.  But that's beige.

But for fried fish, it's tartar + ketchup.  It's pink.

Yeah, the stuff pictured is definitely just a mix of ketchup and mayo, which isn't the same.

Tartar sauce is mayonnaise-based, but also includes things like chopped pickles, dill, lemon juice, and sometimes even some chopped or grated onion.

In Puerto Rico they don't call it Fry Sauce, they're a bit more literal with the name:

<br /><br />



And I've had ketchup mixed with tartar sauce, sort of by accident, on fried fish.  But I don't like the sugar in the ketchup on fish, for whatever reason.  The tang of the tartar sauce is a nice accompaniment, but I don't like the sweet of ketchup involved in anything touching fish.  Just a matter of personal opinion of course.

french fried taters?

when eating hot wings I like the wing sauce on the fries

gravy or cheese is good on fries

otherwise, just salt & pepper

don't care for ketchup or mayo, separately or mixed

Much as good BBQ needs no sauce, truly great french fries need no ketchup.

I hate gravy and cheese on fries.  Soggy fries are inedible.  Fries should be crisp and hot

I agree, but isn't it great when you get fries that don't need anything?  
For me, good skinny fries I eat plain.
I use ketchup for thick fries (steak fries), average skinny fries, and tater tots.
My favorite fries are crinkle-cut - when they're done well, they're perfect.

I make my own fries quite a bit. Those don't need ketchup, or anything, aside from salt.

I've found that I prefer far less salt in my food than most people I know.

However-- really good, hot, fresh french fries-- are where I make an exception. Those need a healthy amount of quality salt on them.

And sometimes I like ketchup and or mayo on my fries.  Sometimes I like green chile, cheese, and bacon mixed into them.  Sometimes I like cheese curds and gravy-- those crazy French Canadians did well when they created poutine.

It's all good.
