Meet Doug: the ugly New Zealand potato that could be world's biggest 😱 🥔 ➡ A New Zealand couple dug up a potato the size of a small dog in their backyard and have applied for recognition from Guinness World Records. They say it weighed in at more than 17 pounds, well above the current record of just under 11 pounds. They've named the potato Doug, because, well, they *dug* it up. “We couldn’t believe it. It was just huge,” Donna Craig-Brown said. And not exactly pretty. Donna describes its appearance as more of an ugly, mutant look. But it’s quite possibly the largest potato on record, weighing around the same as a couple of sacks of regular potatoes. “We put a hat on him. We put him on Facebook, taking him for a walk, giving him some sunshine,” Colin Craig-Brown said. “It’s all a bit of fun. It’s amazing what entertains people.” After showing Doug off for a few weeks, Colin cleaned it up as best he could and put the potato in the freezer, where it remains. An amateur brewer, Colin said he’s keen to turn Doug into a nice drop of potato vodka. 📸 : AP | #potato #worldrecord #guinessworldrecord #newzealand
