Jack Frost Nipping at Your Spud Stop

Ore-Ida also makes a French fry vending machine--you put in three or four quarters and it thaws pre-frozen fries by a greaseless hot-air method. Of course, that means keeping the machine stoked with frozen fries, which may be hard to do. Ore-Ida’s competitors, the French Fry Vending Machine and the Spud Stop, avoid that problem by moistening a dried mashed potato and extruding it in fry shapes into hot oil.
