“Monster potato unearthed“
Colin and Donna Craig-Brown were weeding their garden in New Zealand when Colin’s hoe struck something huge just beneath the soil’s surface.
The couple knelt down and began digging around the object.
It was a giant potato.
“We couldn’t believe it,” Donna said. “It was just huge.”
It is quite possibly the largest potato on record. When the couple lugged it into their garage and put it on their old set of scales, it weighed 7.9 kilograms.
In the weeks since their unusual find on Aug. 30, the couple’s potato has become a celebrity around their small farm near Hamilton.
