How many servings in a 15 pound bag of potatoes?
It's impossible to give you an exact number of servings in a 15-pound bag of potatoes without more information. Here's why:
* Potato size: A 15-pound bag could contain a huge number of small potatoes, or just a few very large ones.
* Serving size: How much potato constitutes a serving? This varies depending on the recipe and individual preferences.
* Preparation method: Are the potatoes being mashed, roasted, fried, or used in another way? This affects how much each serving will be.
To get an idea, here's a general guideline:
* A medium-sized potato (about 3-4 inches in diameter) weighs about 1/2 pound.
* A 15-pound bag could contain roughly 30 medium-sized potatoes.
* However, you might use less than a whole potato per serving, depending on the recipe.
The best way to figure out servings is to:
1. Determine your serving size: Decide how much potato you want per person.
2. Estimate potato size: Look at the potatoes in your bag. Are they small, medium, or large?
3. Do the math: Divide the total weight of the bag by the average weight of a potato and then divide that number by your serving size.
For example:
* If you want 1/4 pound of potato per serving and the potatoes in your bag are medium (about 1/2 pound each), you might get approximately 60 servings (15 pounds / 0.5 pounds/potato = 30 potatoes, 30 potatoes / 0.25 pounds/serving = 60 servings).
