Yummy...love taters! That big one reminds of the giant baked potatoes they had at the Paint Horse World Show in Fort Worth.

OK Stupid question but do all those potatoes get picked up by hand? I see a crowd in the background in the first picture...

lol the potatoes we picked ( in a 6 acre field) all got picked by hand. this farmer, gives a field of Spuds to the community every year. the tractor tilled em to the surface for us and we picked them. we probally picked 200+lbs of potatoes, enough to get us through the winter

What an awesome farmer! I wonder if anyone picks some to take to the elderly or folks that can't come pick their own? I hope so!

WOW that is one big tater!

You sure got a nice load of them! Looks like fun!
