Well, honey, 7 cups of potatoes is roughly equivalent to around 2 pounds. But let's be real, it all depends on the size and density of those spuds. So grab your measuring cup and get ready to do some potato math!
if i knew i would not have to ask
Two pounds of whole potatoes or sliced potatoes is still two pounds regardless how they are cut.
That would be 2.5 pounds.
Since 6 cups of water weighs 3 pounds, and potatoes are close to the same specific gravity as water, if you totally stuffed potatoes into the cups, they'd be about 3 pounds also. However if you're cubing them or shredding them etc. there's going to be some air there as well, so depending on what you're doing and how tightly packed I'd guess 2.5-3 pounds... Vaguely scientific answer ;)
{| |- | 4 lbs. of white potatoes will make approximately 8 cups of cubed potatoes. On average, 1 lb. of white potatoes = 3 med. potatoes = 3 cups grated potatoes = 2 cups cubed potatoes = 1-3/4 cup mashed. |}
4 cups
That is 20 cups
well! you need 6 cups to make 3 servings
If mashed after cooking, approximately 8 cups.
Depends on how big or small the slices are
That is approximately 10.5 pounds
The answer will vary with the size of the potato. 4 to 5 medium potatoes would equal about 1 pound. One medium potato is equal to about 1/2 cup, so one pound of potatoes would be equal to about 2 cups of mashe potatoes.
