How many servings is five pounds of potato salad?

It's impossible to say exactly how many servings are in five pounds of potato salad without knowing the serving size.

Here's why:

* Serving size varies: A "serving" can be a cup, half a cup, a third of a cup, etc.

* Appetite varies: People eat different amounts.

To figure out how many servings you have, you need to know:

1. What size serving you're using: For example, are you serving 1/2 cup per person?

2. How much potato salad is in a cup: This depends on the recipe and how densely packed the salad is.

Here's an example:

* If you're serving 1/2 cup per person, and your recipe yields about 2 cups of potato salad per pound, then five pounds would make 10 cups of potato salad.

* 10 cups / 0.5 cups per serving = 20 servings.

It's always best to err on the side of making too much, rather than not enough!
