How many cups does six pounds of sweet potatoes make?

This is tricky to answer without knowing the size of the sweet potatoes! Here's why and how to figure it out:

* Sweet potatoes vary in size: A small sweet potato might weigh just a few ounces, while a large one could weigh over a pound.

* Different cooking methods: If you're going to cube the sweet potatoes, you'll get a different number of cups than if you were to mash them.

Here's how to estimate:

1. Average size: Estimate the average size of your sweet potatoes. If they're small, assume about 4-6 per pound. If they're medium, assume about 2-3 per pound. If they're large, assume about 1-2 per pound.

2. Measure one: Take one of your sweet potatoes and measure it in cups, either cubed or mashed, depending on how you'll be using them.

3. Calculate: Multiply the number of cups from one sweet potato by the number of sweet potatoes you have in total.

Example:

* You have 6 pounds of medium-sized sweet potatoes (about 2-3 per pound).

* You measure one sweet potato and it yields about 1 cup when cubed.

* Assuming an average of 2.5 sweet potatoes per pound, you have 6 pounds x 2.5 sweet potatoes/pound = 15 sweet potatoes.

* You would have approximately 15 sweet potatoes x 1 cup/sweet potato = 15 cups of cubed sweet potatoes.

Remember: This is just an estimate. The actual amount will vary based on the size of your sweet potatoes.
