how many pounds of potato salad do I need to feed 100 people
It takes approximately 25 pounds. ( I don't know how anyone can measure solid vegetables in gallons )
I would make 12 pounds
The normal serving of potato salad should be around 4 ounces. 1 pound would feed 4 people, so you would need 33 and 3/4 pounds to feed 135 people.
The average serving size is 4 ounces. Five pounds = 80 ounces / 4 = 20
about 16 people. If they are big eaters, 12 people.
I would give about 4 ounces each - about 38 pounds
how many pounds of potato salad to feed 600
The normal serving is considered to be 4 ounces. You have twice that amount. You will probably have lots of leftovers!
To serve 300 people, you will need about 9.375 gallons of potato salad. This is based on one gallon being 16 cups, so, if you figure 1/2 cup per serving, one gallon should serve 32 people.
If you are making the potato salad, start with the potatoes. 25 pounds of potatoes will make moderate servings for 100.40 pounds will make generous servings for 100, but can easily serve 120.If the potato salad is pre-made, you will need 4 to 4 1/2 gallons to serve 100.
As a guide allow 4 ounces of potato salad per person.Therefore 3 pounds of potato salad (48oz) would be enough for about 12 people.Some folk may take a little more, some folk won't take any as they might not like potato salad, so 3 pounds for 12 people is about right.
I would get 20 pounds.
