How many pounds of potatoes for 10 people?

It depends on how much potato each person will eat! Here's a breakdown:

* Light eaters: 1 pound of potatoes per person. This would be good for a side dish or a salad.

* Average eaters: 1.5 pounds of potatoes per person. This would be good for a main dish or a larger side dish.

* Heavy eaters: 2 pounds of potatoes per person. This would be good for a main dish with lots of potatoes.

So, for 10 people:

* Light eaters: 10 pounds of potatoes

* Average eaters: 15 pounds of potatoes

* Heavy eaters: 20 pounds of potatoes

Other factors to consider:

* Type of potato: Some potatoes are denser than others.

* Recipe: Some recipes use more potatoes than others.

It's always a good idea to err on the side of having too much rather than too little. You can always use leftover potatoes in other dishes!
