84 small potatoes or 16 large.
It depends it might be 4-6 sweet potato because it depends on size.
You will need about 1 pound of potatoes per every 3 people.
well! you need 6 cups to make 3 servings
I usually buy a pound a person. I sometimes end up with a few left over but this has always been a general rule here in Idaho. It depends on the the size of potato you get. The bigger the potatoes are the more pounds you need to buy. A large baker will usually be almost a pound each so you will need to buy more. If you are getting the smaller potatoes then the pound per person will work. Good Luck!!
Potatoes come in different sizes, so I cannot guarantee that a specific number of potatoes will weigh two pounds, but on average, a red potato is about half a pound, so four of them would make two pounds.
Sweet potatoes grow best with compost and an organic potato food will increase their size. I start mine from sweet potatoes rooted in water in the winter. When the vines grow from the potatoes, I cut them off the tuber and root them in water. I then plant these rooted vines in the garden after all danger of frost is past and given about 100 days to grow, they will produce new sweet potatoes. The last month or so, do not water the potato vines and this will increase the size of the new tubers.
It depends on the sizes. You would need to weigh them to determine the value of potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into approx. 1 inch cube. If you do this they should only need to boil 15 minutes. If you have the pieces bigger, then it will take longer.
If you shred the potatoes in a grater and then strain them through a potato ricer, then one loose cup of raw shredded potatoes weighs 4 ounces. One packed cup (as it is straight from the ricer) weighs 6 ounces. So if you need a pound of homemade hash browns, it will be about 7 1/2 cups of loose shredded potatoes, or 5 1/3 cups of firmly packed ones. You will need to pre-cook them before using them in a casserole.
If stored right sweet potatoes can last up to a month. The climate that the sweet potatoes are given is key because if they are able to get wet they rot very easily. You should store them in a cupboard that you usually do not store much else in and that is a cool temperature. Always wash your sweet potatoes and allow them to sufficiently air dry before storing them away. Do not store them in a very tight bag because all potatoes need to 'breath'. 6 months: Sweet Potatoes are Tubers. 1. Purchase Sweet Potatoes directly from the grower. 2.
