The secret to uniform shapes in potato chips is to slice uniform shaped potatoes.
A large bag (1 pound) might have 10 to 12 medium potatoes, a snack bag (1 oz) would probably have come from a single potato. The frying process replaces the water weight with some oil, so the weight of the potatoes was about 4 times the weight of the bag of chips.
so you can slice potatoes
You need one and 1/4 potato per person, so: - serving 4 people,= 5 potatoes - serving 10 people,=12 - 13 potatoes.
This depends on how you are serving the potatoes and what part of the meal the potatoes will be. I would probably use one potato per person. I would also have an extra potato for every two men, and count half of a potato per child. That is if the potatoes were only part of the meal and not the whole meal. Being able to use math comes in handy. I would count the potatoes in a 10 pound bag and then decide how many to buy. I have also found that the different types of potatoes do better in different dishes.
