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.
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
Mashed Potatoes

they are not. if you want to make mashed potatoes you don't buy potatoes called mashed potatoes, you buy baby red or something. then you mash them and then they are called mashed potatoes. as mashed ED as in past tense. i mashed the potatoes-past tense!!!!!!!!!!
Mashed potatoes are mashed. Creamed potatoes are prepared with a cream sauce and are thinner than mashed potatoes... and creamier! It usually involves butter and heavy cream, or sometimes milk and flour. There are, of course, many different ways to prepare each, but they are texturally different. Whipped potatoes is another variation, and requires an electric mixer.
