The world's largest potato?

[RadishRose]

A couple in New Zealand may have grown the world's largest potato without even trying.

Colin and Donna Craig-Brown, from Ngāhinapōuri in the country's Waikato region, found the tuber growing in their garden when they were getting ready for the spring planting season.

They named it "Doug"!

Saw Doug on TV the other day ... sitting on a table, it looked like a turkey.

To me it looks kind of like a walrus trying to do the pose of Rodin's The Thinker sculpture.

What fate is to befall Doug? Cooking or left to sprout and plant?

Almost looks like a dog...no wait, a walrus like @feywon mentioned, curled up in her arms. Mutant potato for sure.
