Where were mashed potatoes made?

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.

How many potatoes are needed to make 10 servings of mashed potatoes?

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.
