How many carbohydrates in 1 lb of potatoes?

It's impossible to give you an exact number of carbs in 1 lb of potatoes without knowing the variety of potato. Here's why:

* Potato Variety: Different types of potatoes (russet, red, Yukon gold, etc.) have varying carbohydrate contents.

* Preparation Method: Whether the potatoes are cooked, mashed, fried, etc., can significantly change the carb content.

However, here's a general estimate:

* 1 cup of cooked, mashed potatoes (about 5 oz) contains roughly 25-30 grams of carbohydrates.

* 1 lb of potatoes is roughly 4 cups.

Therefore, a rough estimate would be around 100-120 grams of carbohydrates in 1 lb of cooked potatoes.

To get a more accurate number:

1. Check the nutrition label: If you're using pre-packaged potatoes (like frozen or canned), the nutrition label will provide the carbohydrate information.

2. Use an online nutrition calculator: Many websites allow you to enter the type and amount of potato you're using to calculate its nutritional value.

Remember, this is just an estimate, and it's always best to consult a nutrition label or online calculator for more precise information.
