It depends what else they are eating. If a normal 3 veg and meat meal, then about 25 pounds of potato.
I would use 40 pounds.

You need one and 1/4 potato per person, so: - serving 4 people,= 5 potatoes - serving 10 people,=12 - 13 potatoes.
1 lbs o noodle it weighs 1 pound so it is one pound
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
If you are making mashed potatoes from raw potatoes, generally one potato per person. If you are using instant potatoes, then figure one cup of cooked potatoes per person.
It depends on how big your potato is. If it is a large one then 1/2 a potato per person. If the potato is small then 1 potato per person.
35lb of potatoes will be enough especially mashed.
Well honey, if you're serving mashed potatoes as a side dish, you'll need about 50 pounds to feed 200 people. That's assuming each person gets a generous serving, not just a measly spoonful. So grab those spuds and get mashing, because no one wants to leave a party hungry!
