{| |- | 4 lbs. of white potatoes will make approximately 8 cups of cubed potatoes. On average, 1 lb. of white potatoes = 3 med. potatoes = 3 cups grated potatoes = 2 cups cubed potatoes = 1-3/4 cup mashed. |}
well! you need 6 cups to make 3 servings
Since 6 cups of water weighs 3 pounds, and potatoes are close to the same specific gravity as water, if you totally stuffed potatoes into the cups, they'd be about 3 pounds also. However if you're cubing them or shredding them etc. there's going to be some air there as well, so depending on what you're doing and how tightly packed I'd guess 2.5-3 pounds... Vaguely scientific answer ;)
One pound of of white or russet potatoes makes approximately 1 3/4 cups of mashed potatoes. Using that measurement, then five pounds of potatoes would make approximately 8 3/4 cups of mashed potatoes. Source: http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/blequivp.htm
1.5 pounds = 24 ounces = 3 cups
2 cups
That is approximately 6.245 cups
That is approximately 6.21 cups
Well, honey, 7 cups of potatoes is roughly equivalent to around 2 pounds. But let's be real, it all depends on the size and density of those spuds. So grab your measuring cup and get ready to do some potato math!
If you mashed it, it would be 2 cups.
How many cups are in a pound of floir
