Which dish is fries dressed with mayonnaise, satay sauce, and diced raw onions?

The story behind the answer

The dish of fries dressed with mayonnaise, satay sauce, and diced raw onions is Patatje Oorlog.

The name is Dutch for “war fries,” a vivid reference to the dish’s jumble of contrasting sauces and toppings. It is a familiar snack-bar order in the Netherlands, where fries are commonly called patat or friet and served with a wide range of sauces.

The exact composition can vary by region and by snackbar. Patatje Oorlog generally combines mayonnaise or fritessaus, peanut-based satay sauce, and chopped raw onion, but some vendors interpret the name more broadly as fries served with several available condiments. That regional variation does not change the standard answer to this wording.

A common mix-up is patatje speciaal, which usually combines mayonnaise, spiced ketchup or curry ketchup, and raw onions but does not traditionally require satay sauce. Kapsalon is a different Dutch fast-food dish topped with kebab or shawarma, cheese, salad, and sauces.
