The big Idaho potato truck made its first debut in 2012 in celebration of the Idaho Potato Commission's 75th anniversary. It took almost one year for builders Chris and Sharolyn Schofield to create this larger than life tater! A few specialized contractors based in Weiser, Idaho along with the Kenworth Sales Company and Western Trailer both in Boise, also aided with the construction of the Idaho potato.

The big Idaho potato truck tours different cities every year. The truck has a chairatble component called 'A Big Helping' in which $1 is donated to the partner charity for every signature collected, upto $500. They help several different charities in the cities they visit.
