The answer will vary with the size of the potato. 4 to 5 medium potatoes would equal about 1 pound. One medium potato is equal to about 1/2 cup, so one pound of potatoes would be equal to about 2 cups of mashe potatoes.
1 pound of unpeeled potatoes should yield 1 pound of mashed potatoes, especially when you consider the sour cream/butter/milk you add in to make it creamy and smooth.
two cups equals one pound of mashed potatoes.
No, 1 pound of mashed sweet potato is about 2.2 cups.
One pound of of white or russet potatoes makes approximately 1 3/4 cups of mashed potatoes. Using that measurement, then five pounds of potatoes would make approximately 8 3/4 cups of mashed potatoes. Source: http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/blequivp.htm

A peck of potatoes weighs about 10 pounds, this is about 8 quarts or 16 pints US dry measure. so a cup which is a liquid measure is about 7/8 of a dry half pint, or about .27 pounds per cup of whole potatoes. The volume of potatoes can be reduced by chopping or grating them. So that 1 cup of potatoes weighs about 3/4 pound grated or about 1/2 pound chopped. So 1 lb of chopped potatoes is about 2 cups more or less, and 1 1/2 cups or so if grated. The type of potato will change these measurements a bit.
If you mashed it, it would be 2 cups.
