I would suggest one medium to large sized potato per person.
A general guideline is to prepare about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of mashed potatoes per person for a side dish. For 50 people, this means you should make approximately 25 to 38 cups of mashed potatoes. If you want to ensure there's enough for everyone and some leftovers, aiming for around 30 to 40 cups would be ideal.
I would use 40 pounds.
I would use 25 pounds of potato
A standard serving of mashed potatoe's is around six ounces. Between five and six pounds should be enough to serve 10 adults and maybe even leave you a little bit of leftovers.
25 pounds of potatos shoud be about right.
To serve mashed potatoes for 150 people at a serving size of 4 ounces each, you will need a total of 600 ounces (150 people x 4 ounces). Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, this amounts to 37.5 pounds of mashed potatoes needed. Generally, raw potatoes yield about 2 to 2.5 times their weight when cooked and mashed, so you would need approximately 15-20 pounds of raw potatoes to produce the required amount of mashed potatoes.
There are about 200 Calories in 6oz of good wood Mashed potatoes.
There are 2.75 ounces in 80g of mashed potatoes. One ounce = 29 grams.
I would use that as 4-5 portions
