Fear stricken Couch potato's seen fleeing Spud Mecca ..NO DAK........ City Breaks Its Own French Fry Record GRAND FORKS, N.D. (Reuters) - Residents of this potato-growing mecca cooked and devoured 3,960 pounds -- or about 12,000 servings -- of french fries on Thursday, breaking their own world record for cooking french fries, set annually for the past decade. A downtown park was the site for the spud-fest, where organizers used a specially designed vat filled with 150 gallons of hot oil with a conveyor running through it to fry the record amount of french fries, donated by a local potato processor. To help down the fries, organizers set out 50 gallons of ketchup, 25 pounds of salt and 15,000 napkins. The celebration highlighted the weeklong potato harvest festival in the Red River valley of North Dakota, one of the top spud-producing regions in the United States.
