Residents of Xylofagou tried but failed to break the Guinness World Record for the largest potato fry, on Thursday evening.
Volunteers gathered at the International Potato Festival, in a bid to snatch the honour away from India which once fried 659 kilos of potatoes.
Using eight huge frying pans, each boasting a nearly one-meter diameter and massive quantities of cooking oil, locals tried to achieve the feat, while a representative from the Guinness World Records was there, tasked with documenting the effort.
However, the final weigh-in showed that 420 kilos were fried on the night, meaning that residents of the potato-producing village, will have to have a go at it another time!
