Antarctica is the largest "cold" desert. YES, it is classified as a desert! It doesn't get rainfall that plants can use it only gets snow.

The largest hot desert would be the sahara in northern Africa.

The Sahara Desert

A desert is a landscape or region that receives very little precipitation - less than 250 mm per year (about ten inches). Approximately 1/3 of Earth's land surface is a desert.
The largest areas on Earth that fit this definition are the polar regions. Antarctica has a surface area of about 14 million square kilometers (5.5 million square miles), making it the largest desert in the world.

The largest non-polar desert is the Sahara Desert of northern Africa. The Sahara has a surface area of 9 million square kilometers (3.5 million square miles), and it stands as the largest non-polar desert in the world.

The Sahara in North Africa is the largest desert in the world, stretching to a maximum length of 3,200 miles from east to west and 1,400 miles from north to south. It covers an area of approximately 3,579,000 miles. Small areas of the desert are below to sea level, but it is mainly a plateau with a central mountain system.

Technically the Antarctic is the largest desert. But if you are talking about the conventional sand filled ecosystem then the Sahara, in Africa, is your answer. It is about the size of the United States and growing all the time.
