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
You are supposed to divide the total price by the number of pounds. That will give you the price per pound.
Well bags of potatoes vary in weight. The average bag of store potatoes weighs 5 kg or 11 lbs.. The average bag of farm potatoes weighs 10 kg or 22 lbs..

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.
