What is the Big Idaho Potato Truck?

The Big Potato Truck is a 48-foot long flatbed trailer featuring a 28-foot long, 12-foot wide and 11.5-foot tall, 6 ton Idaho potato. It’s also the star of the Idaho Potato Commission’s national advertising campaign. After being seen by hundreds of millions of Americans, the most frequently asked question is still, “Is it real?”  We’ll never tell…but if it is, the Big Idaho Potato:

• The equivalent of 21,562 medium-size potatoes!
• Weigh 802 times more than the largest potato ever grown, which clocked in at 11 pounds!
• Make 20,217 servings of mashed potatoes!
• Make close to 1 million French fries!
• Take nearly 7,000 years to grow!
• Take about 2 years to bake!
