As a side dish 25 lbs of sweet potatoes should be enough for 70 people
Well, darling, if you're making candied sweet potatoes for 70 people, you'll need roughly 35 pounds of sweet potatoes. That's about half a pound per person, assuming they all want a decent serving. So, get those taters ready and make sure you have plenty of brown sugar and marshmallows to go around!
Sweet Potatoes must be cured once they're harvested. Wash and let dry in the sun. You can place the sweet potatoes on newspaper in a shaded place where temperatures are between 70 and 80 degrees. The top of the refrigerator should be fine. Do not refrigerate the sweet potatoes or they'll rot. Store in this warm spot until the potatoes harden, usually in just a few weeks.
Fifteen pounds of red potatoes can typically serve around 30-40 people as a side dish, depending on portion sizes. If serving as a main component of a meal, it may not be enough for 70-75 people. To adequately feed that many, you would likely need at least 30-35 pounds of potatoes. Adjustments can be made based on the overall menu and other dishes served.
