Want this question answered?
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.
LOTS AND LOTS! just kidding. if you figure about 1 potato per person approx ( so i would say 400-475 potatoes depending on the size of them. good luck.
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.
About 5 pounds of mashed poatoes are needed for twenty people. ~in my opinion, five pounds of potatoes could feed ME!!!!!!!!........ but i LOve potatoes
no, but if needed they eat mashed peas
Yes. (Frozen dinners often have mashed potatoes in them.) I usually add more liquid to mashed potatoes before I freeze them so they don't get too dry when reheating. Or, you can add a bit more liquid, if needed, when you reheat them. If you whip them well ,then will freeze very well.But doing it with a hand masher;they don'tcome out well when unthawed.Get them nice and light ,and add just enough liquidto bind them .To much liquid and they'll be heavy ,and don't freeze as well.
The answer depends on the size of the turkey!
Sugar was the main ingredient missing that was needed.
A serving is considered 4 ounces, about half a cup. Two pounds should be enough to give everyone a serving. You'll need more if there isn't much else being served!
Potatoes are most commonly used for food.
Cheesy potatoes could be made with one potato or one hundred potatoes. The amount of cheese needed to make cheesy potatoes is directly influenced by the amount of potatoes used when making cheesy potatoes.
A fist-sized potato for each person, or the equivalent in smaller potatoes.
