'One Potato, Two Potato'Normally I would recommend 1 large potato (or 2 small/medium potatoes) per person.
If you are making mashed potatoes from raw potatoes, generally one potato per person. If you are using instant potatoes, then figure one cup of cooked potatoes per person.
I think we need some clarification here. Are you asking where mashed potatoes were invented? Or do you want to know where modern instant mashed potatoes are made? I don't know if we can definitively answer the first question, because mashed potatoes are so basic. Potatoes are native to the Americas. I don't know if the native peoples mashed their potatoes or cooked them in some other fashion, but I do know that potatoes weren't introduced to Europe until Europeans conquered the Americas. The people in South America had already domesticated the potato by then. It seems reasonable to suppose that they might have boiled their potatoes, and sometimes mashed them, but I don't know if there is any evidence to prove that they did.
35lb of potatoes will be enough especially mashed.
to make chips or mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes.
It depends on how big your potato is. If it is a large one then 1/2 a potato per person. If the potato is small then 1 potato per person.
You will need about 1 pound of potatoes per every 3 people.
It may sound excessive at first, but for 10 people, I would go ahead and peel and prepare the full ten pound bag of potatoes. Some of that ten pounds is water, and a little bit is peel, so you don't end up with 10 lbs of mashed potatoes. I routinely prepare that volume of potatoes, and what you end up with is a very large bowl full of potatoes, true, but that allows both for mashed potatoes for ten, but hopefully, seconds for those who want them.
mashed potatoes for 1 person would be about two good sized potatoes, which weigh approximately 400g. Therefore 80kg of potatoes would feed about 200 and if anyone wants second portions or there are some larger people in your party, then 100kg or 220lb of potatoes should suffice.
The noun potato is a countable noun; the plural form is potatoes.Example: You will need six boiled potatoes to make the mashed potatoes.
I find that 5 medium sized potatoes is good for 3 people. So for 9 it would be 15 potatoes. If you want extra do 20.
Mashed potatoes needs no special ingredients for Passover although they will need to be prepared in a Passover bowl with Passover utensils and without the addition of baking powder. Simply boil and mash the potatoes with milk and butter if having a milk meal or use dairy free margarine and no milk for a meat meal.
