How many cups in a pound of potatoes?

You can't directly convert pounds of potatoes to cups because the amount of cups will vary depending on the size and type of potatoes.

Here's why:

* Potato size: A large potato will yield more cups than a small potato, even if they weigh the same.

* Potato type: Different potato varieties have different densities. For example, russet potatoes are starchy and have a lower density, meaning a pound will yield more cups than a pound of fingerling potatoes.

To get a rough estimate, you can use these general guidelines:

* 1 pound of small potatoes: Approximately 3 cups

* 1 pound of medium potatoes: Approximately 2 cups

* 1 pound of large potatoes: Approximately 1.5 cups

The best way to determine the number of cups is to:

1. Peel and chop the potatoes.

2. Measure the chopped potatoes in a measuring cup.

This will give you the most accurate measurement for your specific recipe.
