How many potatoes to serve 75 people?

* What is the serving size? Are you giving each person a small side of potatoes, or a large main dish?

* What is the recipe? Different potato recipes use different amounts of potatoes per serving.

* What kind of potatoes? Russet potatoes are larger than red potatoes, for example.

Here's how to figure it out:

1. Decide on a serving size: A common serving of mashed potatoes is 1/2 cup, while a baked potato is usually about 1 potato per person.

2. Choose your recipe: Recipes will usually tell you how many servings they make.

3. Adjust for the number of guests: If your recipe makes 6 servings and you need to serve 75, you'll need to multiply the recipe by 12.5 (75 / 6 = 12.5).

Example:

* You're making mashed potatoes, and you want to give each person 1/2 cup.

* Your recipe makes 8 servings.

* You need to serve 75 people.

1. Multiply the recipe by 9.375: 75 / 8 = 9.375

2. Round up to the nearest whole number: You'll need to make 10 batches of your mashed potato recipe to feed 75 people.
