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.

If you assume an average of ¾ cup per person, you would need approximately 23.25 cups, which is about 5.8 quarts or roughly 6 quarts of mashed potatoes or potato salad. Adjust the amount based on the group's preferences and whether you are serving other side dishes.
To make 700 grams of mashed potatoes, you typically need about 1 kilogram (1000 grams) of raw potatoes, as they lose weight during cooking due to water loss.

Generally, plan on using about 1.4 to 1.5 times the weight of the desired mashed potatoes in raw 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.

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.
