SUN VALLEY, Idaho — The Idaho Potato Commission is banking that the 6-ton Russet it’s hauled 12,000 miles through more than 30 states this year on a tour celebrating the organization’s 75th anniversary will remain a hot potato during a second trek.

The Great Big Idaho Potato Truck, in the midst of a trip that started in April and continues into October, will roll again next summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day, IPC President and CEO Frank Muir announced Aug. 30 during the Idaho Grower Shippers Association’s annual meeting.
