How many potatoes in 1.5 lbs of potatoes?

It's impossible to say exactly how many potatoes are in 1.5 lbs without knowing the size of the potatoes. Potatoes come in a wide variety of sizes, so the number could range from just a few very large potatoes to many small ones.

Here's why it's hard to estimate:

* Potato Variety: Different potato varieties have different sizes.

* Potato Shape: Round potatoes are denser than long, thin potatoes.

* Individual Potato Size: Even within the same variety, potatoes can vary significantly in size.

Instead of counting, you can use these alternatives:

* Approximate: If you need a rough estimate, you could assume a medium-sized potato weighs about 4-6 ounces. Based on that, you might get around 4-6 potatoes in 1.5 lbs.

* Recipe Guidance: Many recipes specify the number of potatoes needed, so you can follow those guidelines.
