How to Make McDonald's Tartar Sauce: Copycat Recipe

I am a chef on a luxury world cruise liner. I love to cook and write recipes that are inspired by foods from all over the world.

McDonald's is a famous American fast-food chain with tens of thousands of outlets all around the world. This restaurant is well known for its burgers and its McNuggets. In addition, they have many popular sauces, including the tartar sauce that accompanies the Filet-O-Fish. As a regular customer and fan, I tried to re-create their tartar sauce at home. This recipe takes only five minutes to prepare.

Hi Liz,

I agree with you! I really love the fish n chips from the UK even if it's serve with vinegar. Though tartar sauce is the best.
