As potato salad is a side dish and accompanies a mean then its advisable to average 4oz per serving - remember that not everyone like this food line and this will mean some will have more than others. When working it out use the 4oz x 75 then add 20% extra as potato is not expensive and some waste can be expected.
how much potato salad do you need to serve 75 people
When I make potato salad for a crowd, I usually allow 1 medium potato per person and then add about 10 percent more. So the answer is 65 medium potatoes plus 6 extra.
I would use about 18-20 pounds

Me, holding a sac of potatoes.
About 1/2 pound per person, so 22.5 lbs ---- The answer depends on the quality of the potatoes and how much each person will eat. If you use excellent potatoes (no defects) and you WILL NOT be peeling the potatoes, then: Assuming the following: # of people: 45 Pounds consumed by each person: .5 Edible %: 100% (potatoes with no defects, baked in skin) Lbs of normal sized potatoes required: 22.5 lbs = 45 * .5 lbs / 1 Lbs of large sized potatoes required: 33.75 lbs = 45 * .75 lbs / 1 Lbs of ex-lg sized potatoes required: 45 lbs = 45 * 1 lbs / 1 If you use excellent potatoes (no defects) and you WILL be peeling the potatoes (for boiled or mashed potatoes), then: Edible %: 90% (potatoes with no defects, peeled) Lbs of normal sized potatoes required: 25 lbs = 45 * .5 lbs / .9 Lbs of large sized potatoes required: 37.5 lbs = 45 * .75 lbs / .9 Lbs of ex-lg sized potatoes required: 50 lbs = 45 * 1 lbs / .9

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.
That depends on the recipe you use.
