How many red potatoes to make a serving of mashed potatoes?

It's hard to give a precise number of red potatoes for a serving of mashed potatoes without knowing:

* Your definition of a "serving": A single serving can be quite different depending on who you are serving.

* The size of the potatoes: Red potatoes vary in size.

* How mashed you like them: Do you like chunky mashed potatoes or very smooth?

Here's a general guideline:

* For a single serving (1 cup of mashed potatoes), you'll likely need 2-3 medium-sized red potatoes.

To get a more accurate estimate:

1. Measure the potatoes: Use a measuring cup to determine how many cups of potatoes you have.

2. Consider the serving size: Decide how many people you are serving and adjust the amount of potatoes accordingly.

3. Adjust for desired consistency: If you like your mashed potatoes very smooth, you might need to use slightly more potatoes.

Remember: It's always better to have too many potatoes than too few. You can always freeze any leftover mashed potatoes for later use!
