How many pounds of diced potatoes equal 6 whole potatoes?

It's impossible to say for sure how many pounds of diced potatoes equal 6 whole potatoes without knowing:

* The size of the potatoes: A single potato can weigh anywhere from a few ounces to over a pound.

* The potato variety: Some potato varieties are denser than others.

Here's how to get an approximate answer:

1. Weigh the potatoes: Weigh the 6 whole potatoes.

2. Estimate the loss from dicing: You'll lose some weight due to the peelings and the act of dicing itself. Estimate this loss at about 10-15%.

3. Calculate the weight of diced potatoes: Subtract the estimated loss from the total weight of the potatoes.

Example:

Let's say your 6 potatoes weigh 3 pounds.

* Estimated loss: 3 pounds * 10% = 0.3 pounds

* Weight of diced potatoes: 3 pounds - 0.3 pounds = 2.7 pounds

So, in this example, approximately 2.7 pounds of diced potatoes would equal 6 whole potatoes.
