A general guideline is to plan for about 0.5 to 0.75 pounds of potatoes per person when serving them as a side dish. For 20 people, you would need approximately 10 to 15 pounds of potatoes. If the potatoes are the main component of the meal, you might want to increase that amount to around 15 to 20 pounds. Adjust based on the specific preferences and appetite of your group.
Are they having other vegetables. If so, then about 18 pounds of potato.
20 pounds
depending on their appetites between 15 and 25 people!
I find that 5 medium sized potatoes is good for 3 people. So for 9 it would be 15 potatoes. If you want extra do 20.
About 5 pounds of mashed poatoes are needed for twenty people. ~in my opinion, five pounds of potatoes could feed ME!!!!!!!!........ but i LOve potatoes
an average potato may weigh 150 grams (0.33 lb) so there could be 20/25 in an 8 lb bag
20
I would get 20 pounds.
There are 20.
One pound equals 16 ounces, so 20 pounds times 16 ounces equals 320 ounces.
Well, honey, if you're serving sweet potatoes from number 10 cans, you'll need about 8 cans for every 100 people. So for 250 people, you do the math - that's 20 cans. Just make sure to have some extra butter and brown sugar on hand to really make those spuds sing.
I would use that as 4-5 portions
