"The World’s Largest Potato Crisp is a Pringles brand crisp that was engineered in Jackson, Tennessee, way back in June 1991. This amazing monument to America’s love of the greasy, artificially-manufactured snacks — they used to contain more ACTUAL POTATOES than salt & preservatives — is 25 inches long and over 14 inches wide, weighs 5.4 ounces (1/3 pound), and has more surface area than the usual family-size pizza!" the VroomVroomVroom.com says.

"This Big Pringles Potato Crisp is housed in its own display case, and is one of the crown jewels of Idaho’s museum dedicated to celebrating the history of the state’s #1 vegetable crop.

"The museum gift shop can hook you up with delicious potato fudge (but it’s a seasonal item, usually available from April to September) and tasty Idaho Spud Bars. You can also get potato soup mix, sold in fun potato mugs (coming soon), and potato lotion, soap, and lip balm that are all made with real potatoes. They have burlap sack dresses, spud buddies, Mr. Potato Heads, and Spud guns, too!"

"The Idaho Potato Museum is a museum devoted to the potato, located in Blackfoot, Idaho. Exhibit displays are donated from a combination of community and commercial sources. One of the most popular displays in the museum is the world's largest potato crisp, donated by Pringles of Procter & Gamble.

"The museum's exhibits include the world's largest potato chip, measuring 25 by 14 inches, and a timeline history of potato consumption in the US (including the introduction of fries to the White House menu selection during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson). Also on display are Peruvian-made 1,600-year-old vessels that are believed to be the first containers used specifically for potato storage. A Hall of Fame acknowledging significant contributions to the potato industry is also an ongoing feature of the museum.

"The Spud Seller gift shop is attached to the museum and offers merchandise with a potato or Idaho theme. The shop was initially a small enterprise that only sold items on consignment; however, in recent years, gift shop items have been purchased from multiple commercial wholesalers, representing a significant growth in the operation of the business.[citation needed] In 2016, the museum renovated the baggage claim area of the depot which was used for storage, and opened the Potato Station Café. The café opened on Memorial Day weekend. The café serves baked potatoes, French fries, and other potato-based foods such as potato bread, potato cupcakes, and chocolate-dipped potato chips."  (Wikipedia)

"The Idaho Potato Museum celebrates the humble spud and its contribution to humanity. Located in Blackfoot, Idaho, the Potato Capitol of the World, the Idaho Potato Museum explores the history, cultivation and harvesting of potatoes," the Southeast Idaho High Country says.

"Displays showcase unique artifacts including the World’s Largest Potato Crisp, as noted in the Book of Guinness World Records. Visitors can take their photo with the museum’s giant baked potato! The museum’s gift shop offers a wide variety of potato and Idaho-themed gifts.

"No visit to the museum is complete without a visit to its Potato Station Café! Hot baked potatoes and homestyle French fries are featured on the menu!"

"This museum highlights the agricultural and commercial history of potatoes. It features a giant potato sculpture and also serves as the home of the world’s largest potato chip, a 25-inches long Pringle dating from 1991," the Atlas Obscura says.

"Lay’s slogan “betcha can’t eat just one” is exemplified in this local museum filled wall-to-wall in potato paraphernalia. From the moment you step through the door (adjacent to a several-foot-long baked potato with a permanent tripod to commemorate your trip) and pay the entry fee (and receive a potato sack with a box of hash browns), you are inundated with starchy goodness.

"The museum offers information and entertainment for all ages, with examples of products, a build-your-own Mr. Potato Head Station, and animatronic potato people. The gift shop offers an array of cheesy potato-themed products to take home, such as shirts with Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man replaced with a potato."

"A potato chip (often just chip) or crisp is a thin slice of potato (or a thin deposit of potato paste) that has been deep fried, baked, or air fried until crunchy. They are commonly served as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. The basic chips are cooked and salted; additional varieties are manufactured using various flavorings and ingredients including herbs, spices, cheeses, other natural flavors, artificial flavors, and additives.

"Potato chips form a large part of the snack food and convenience food market in Western countries. The global potato chip market generated total revenue of US$16.49 billion in 2005. This accounted for 35.5% of the total savory snacks market in that year (which was $46.1 billion overall).

"The earliest known recipe for something similar to today's potato chips is in William Kitchiner's book The Cook's Oracle published in 1817, which was a bestseller in the United Kingdom and the United States. The 1822 edition's recipe for "Potatoes fried in Slices or Shavings" reads "peel large potatoes... cut them in shavings round and round, as you would peel a lemon; dry them well in a clean cloth, and fry them in lard or dripping".  (Wikipedia)

"The Idaho Potato Museum is a landmark that all should see. The museum uniquely showcases the Idaho’s Famous Potatoes®. As you visit inside the museum, you will see the history of the potato in Idaho," the Rexburg Online says.

"From the Largest Potato Crisp made by the Pringle’s Company to the historic building built in 1912, the museum will help you come to understand the effect that potato has had on the state of Idaho. Also, come enjoy the Potato Station Cafe, featuring everything potato."

"The museum itself has lots of exhibits about the hardy root vegetable, its history, and its importance to the state. It also has fun artifacts like the world’s largest Pringle (25 inches wide!) and an actual potato signed by former vice president Dan Quayle, the same guy who once infamously forgot how to spell “potato,” the Quirky Travel Guide says.

"You can take a pic with the giant potato statue without going inside the museum, but if you find yourself road tripping through this part of Idaho, you should certainly stop inside.

"One noteworthy glass case here holds the world’s largest potato crisp. It’s 25 inches wide and 14 inches long, and weighs in at 5.4 ounces. That’s a third of a pound!"

"The museum is housed in the old Oregon Short Line Railroad station in Blackfoot, which was the shortest rail route from Wyoming to Oregon, thus providing great distribution for the wonderful Idaho potatoes. There is a great history exhibit of how European explorers brought the potato from South America to the European continent, and how American botanists (Luther Burbank) developed varieties that we still enjoy today," the RV Goddess says.

"The museum showed the early history of the tuber, up to frozen French fries and tater tots. We learned that only 20% of Idaho potatoes are eaten as fresh potatoes - most are eaten as chips, fries, tots, or in some sort of dehydrated form (instant potatoes, potato flour, and potato starch). There is a display of the largest potato "crisp" (aka a massive Pringle) larger than a place mat. Hundreds of potato peelers. Zillions of potato mashers.

"The museum also had a vast collection of Mr. Potato Head dolls, and science experiments where students could use potatoes to make a clock (DT remembers doing this in elementary school). It was a fun hour, learning about how the potato grew so well in Idaho and how potatoes now feed the entire world! A restaurant (serving only baked potatoes, French fries, and tater tots) is on-site, and if you call two-hours ahead, they will have a baked potato ready for you to eat."

"The display plaque reads: The Guinness Book of World Records qualifies this as the world's larges potato "crisp". The oddity was made by a team of food engineers employed by Proctor & Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 3, 1991," the Waymarking says.

"The crisp measures 25 by 14 inches and weights 5.4 oz. It contains 920 calories, the equivalent of 80 regular Pringle's potato crisps.

"A potato crisp are made from processed dehydrated potatoes. The crisp is formed by food processing machines. Potato "chips" are thinly sliced fresh potatoes crisply fried in vegetable oil."
