It depends on how much butter you typically like on your Yukon golds. For me, I use 1 tbsp per potato when eating them as baked potatoes. Using that as a guide, I would put in the same amount per potato if making mashed potatoes. So 8-10 tbsp for mashed 10lbs of Yukon golds.
Margarine or butter is all the same for this recipe. Actually, you don't need butter unless you like the flavor. Add milk or some of the water you boiled the potatoes in to make the consistency as you want it. If you do want to use butter then you should used unsalted, not margarine or salted butter. But you don't need to use any if you don't want to.
A serving of mashed potatoes, that is, 2/3 cup, has about 170 calories.
If you're saying a large amount of butter, I'm going with two servings, or two tablespoons, which has 101 calories.
Total: Approximately 271 calories per serving.
If you're watching your calories, obviously the butter is a bad choice.
Try cutting down to 1/2 cup potatoes and 1/2 tablespoon butter. Then try black pepper on top as well.
The amount of butter on a baked potato is generally up to the eater to decide.
You can do it with one
A tablespoon

If you are making mashed potatoes from raw potatoes, generally one potato per person. If you are using instant potatoes, then figure one cup of cooked potatoes per person.
35lb of potatoes will be enough especially mashed.
The noun potato is a countable noun; the plural form is potatoes.Example: You will need six boiled potatoes to make the mashed potatoes.
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.
'One Potato, Two Potato'Normally I would recommend 1 large potato (or 2 small/medium potatoes) per person.
{| |- | 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. |}
It depends on how big your potato is. If it is a large one then 1/2 a potato per person. If the potato is small then 1 potato per person.
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.
You need one and 1/4 potato per person, so: - serving 4 people,= 5 potatoes - serving 10 people,=12 - 13 potatoes.
mashed potatoes for 1 person would be about two good sized potatoes, which weigh approximately 400g. Therefore 80kg of potatoes would feed about 200 and if anyone wants second portions or there are some larger people in your party, then 100kg or 220lb of potatoes should suffice.
Mashed potatoes needs no special ingredients for Passover although they will need to be prepared in a Passover bowl with Passover utensils and without the addition of baking powder. Simply boil and mash the potatoes with milk and butter if having a milk meal or use dairy free margarine and no milk for a meat meal.
