Let's face it, potatoes are amazing. They are a versatile food. You can have them mashed, cubed, fried, baked, baked twice, and so much more! And, now, thanks to Kristie Wolfe, you can now live in one.

Okay, not an actual potato, but a tiny house that looks exactly like a potato. A 28 by 12 foot long, and 11.5-foot tall potato. And it's amazing.

Originally, it was built as a way to promote a potato tour, yes that's a thing, by the Idaho Potato Commission's (IPC). The Big Idaho Potato tour is to help promote IPC's "Grown in Idaho" seal. This is a federal trademark to ensure buyers that when they purchase an Idaho potato, they are getting an authentic Idaho potato.

What makes Idaho potatoes so special? These potatoes are grown in rich, volcanic soil in a climate that is like no other in the United States.

At first, this potato went on tour with the Idaho Potato Tour only used as a way to store materials for the tour. Towards the end of the tour, Wolfe began coming up with ideas on what to do with the large fiberglass potato she was going to have on her hands once the tour was over.

At the time, she had a tiny home of her own and she had the realization that the spud actually had more square-footage than her own home. This is where she got the brilliant idea of making this once storage unit into a livable space for people to rest their heads. She knew of a lot where she could place the potato and she had the vision to make America's favorite comfort food into America's favorite comfort-stay.

Now, the potato resides in a field in Idaho where people can stay for only $200 a night with an addition $42 after taxes. The potato comes with one queen size bed and one bath. The potato also comes with air conditioning and a fireplace, so you can live inside of a baked potato if you wanted to.

However, your stay at this potato may root up your life because there is no wifi, tv, or kitchen. I mean, if you already took the step to reside inside of a potato, you should be willing to give up some luxuries and live the minimalist life for a day or two.

There have been no reviews of the tater so far, but the pictures of the inside of the Airbnb are promising for it looks comfortable and chic - the perfect atmosphere.

Airbnb has now revealed that this potato has become their most popular rental, in fact, the potato is booked for the month of May. But this is perfect for those who never knew they have always wanted to live inside of the potato, like yourself. Now, you have time to go plan and save for your best get-away for the summer.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
