Wash. merchants aim to break potato dish record
A watched pot never boils, and the saying probably felt true of potatoes as well Saturday, Sept. 24, as dozens of volunteers tried to break the record for the world's largest potatoes au gratin in Mount Vernon.
The Guinness World Record attempt started at 9 a.m. downtown, and after hours of stirring, adding ingredients and slaving over the steaming potatoes as crowds gathered to watch, the dish got served up at about 3:30 p.m.
