Are you a Tartar sauce fan? If so, you will love this Easy Tartar Sauce Recipe!
We had fish sticks for dinner tonight and ran out of tartar sauce. My kids use it a lot! I grabbed my grandpa’s cookbook because it was full of sauce recipes.
When looking for recipes, I always start with my vintage cookbooks, including my grandpa’s typewritten cookbook. Looking it up online might be quicker, but I prefer the old-fashioned research method!
My grandpa’s cookbook had an Easy Tartar Sauce Recipe so I was good to go!

Oh this is one i have to bookmark! I really love tartar sauce and have to make some for when we are having fries next. My sister loves it on the side of her steak when we eat out, so need to give this a try! x

Oh my god, yes! I love tartar sauce with fried fish and always need more than what is served at restaurants. Being able to quickly make a batch is a big plus. 🙂
Heidi Bruaw
Yes, it is so good with fish! The restaurants never seem to give quite enough, do they? I love making it at home so I have plenty! 🙂
