It depends on what else you are serving. If you have a variety of other dishes, expect to put out about 15 to 20 pounds of potato salad. If you only have a few other dishes (3 or 4) you'll need about 25 pounds.
Good luck!
I would use 25 pounds of potato
Since 25 pounds feeds 100, you'll need 106 1/4 pounds of potato salad.
It depends what else they are eating. If a normal 3 veg and meat meal, then about 25 pounds of potato.
25 pounds should be plenty.
How much food you need for 100 people will depend on the type of food. You will need 50 pounds of boneless chicken for 100 people. 35 pounds of potatoes. Four 25 pound turkeys will feed 100 people. 35 pounds of ground beef will make enough meatballs for 100 people.
For a potato salad serving 100 people, a general guideline is to use about 1 cup of mayonnaise for every 5 pounds of potatoes. Therefore, with 25 pounds of potatoes, you would need approximately 5 cups of mayonnaise. Adjust the amount based on personal taste and desired creaminess.
Ask yourself (in the context of the meal overall) how may potatoes could YOU eat. Once you have that in your head you can multiply the number by the number of guests you are intending to feed.
For serving red potatoes as a side dish, a good estimate is about 1/2 pound per person. For 100 people, you would need approximately 50 pounds of red potatoes. This amount can vary based on the meal and the appetites of your guests, so consider adjusting if it’s part of a larger buffet or meal.
