Win a Trip to Idaho and Stay in This Giant Potato Hotel — Here's How to Enter

Now's your chance to score a getaway that's tater-ly amazing.

As part of the sweepstakes, McAlister's fans can enter to win a four day, three night all-expenses-paid trip for themselves and a guest to America's potato capital — Boise, Idaho. While in Boise, they will stay at the unique Big Idaho Potato Hotel (literally shaped like a potato) as well as receive a year's worth of free giant spuds from McAlister's Deli.

But the prizes don't stop there. Not only will the winner be living in high-style inside a giant potato, they will also be treated to potato-themed activities along the way, most notably the chance to take a ride in the Big Idaho Potato Truck, a 72-foot semi trailer with a four ton potato on board. Truly only the most ride-or-die spud fan is worthy of such a prize.
