The basic components for the classical recipe are potatoes, pickled gherkins, chicken or meat or cooked ham, eggs, peas.. I think that is about it. All the rest like olives and corn is an extra.

Now I do draw the line at putting it on French Fries as the Dutch like to do.

My ideal french fry condiment situation, that I developed over several years of eating “chips” in British pubs, is to have about a tablespoon of ketchup, and an equal amount of mayo, an inch away from the ketchup. Then each fry gets dipped once into each sauce, or sometimes into just one. As the meal progresses, and orange hybrid forms between the two, like a Bob Ross palette. Mmmmm!
