Cette statue de ciment massive haute de sept mètres d'une pomme de terre souriante et coiffée d'un chapeau haut de forme est située devant un marché en bordure de route sur la route 105 à Maugerville, au Nouveau-Brunswick.

La statue a été construite en 1969 par Winston Bronnum, qui a également construit le plus gros homard du monde à Shediac. Il a été construit pour Karl Harvey, propriétaire de la ferme Harvey's Big Potato, et a demandé à Bronnum de construire la statue de la pomme de terre pour attirer les clients. Plus tard, la ferme a été louée et éventuellement vendue à Daniel Boudreau, qui l'a rebaptisée Silver Valley Farms.

Le Harvey Big Potato a été entièrement refait en 2022.

This seven meters tall, massive cement statue of a smiling, top-hatted potato is located in front of a roadside market on Hwy 105 in Maugerville, New Brunswick.

The statue was built in 1969 by Winston Bronnum, who also built the world's biggest lobster in Shediac. It was built for Karl Harvey who owned the Harvey’s Big Potato farm and asked Bronnum to build the statue of potato as a way to attract customers. Latter, the farm was leased and eventually sold to Daniel Boudreau, who renamed it Silver Valley Farms.

The Harvey Big Potato was completely redone in 2022.
