How many lbs of boiled potatoes to serve 100?
It's impossible to give an exact answer without knowing how much potato each person will eat. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
Factors to Consider:
* Appetite: Are you serving them as a side dish, or are they the main course? Will there be other substantial foods?
* Potato Type: Russet potatoes tend to be starchy and yield more when boiled, while waxy potatoes are denser.
* Preparation Method: Mashed potatoes require more potato per serving than whole boiled potatoes.
General Estimates:
* Side Dish: Plan for about 1/2 lb of raw potatoes per person. This should yield about 1 cup of cooked potatoes.
* Main Course: If potatoes are the main course, aim for 1 lb of raw potatoes per person.
Calculations:
* Side Dish: 100 people x 0.5 lb/person = 50 lbs of raw potatoes
* Main Course: 100 people x 1 lb/person = 100 lbs of raw potatoes
Remember: It's better to have a little extra than not enough.
Tip: Boiled potatoes can be easily reheated, so you can always make a bit more and save leftovers for another meal.
