Belgian frite-frier sets 83-hour chip frying record

A Belgian frite-frier has set a new world record by spending 83 consecutive hours frying chips… but he burnt his fingers in the process.

Chris Verschueren smashed the previous record by over 11 hours by producing and frying more than 1,500 kilos of chips.

But Verschueren says the record bid and processing all those potatoes left him with sore feet and wrists, and he brunt his fingers.

Record adjudicators allowed him to take a 100-minute break after 20 hours, but other than that he worked straight through.

Unfortunately for Verschueren he failed to set a new record for the amount of chips sold… meaning he now has his own personal potato mountain.
