How many servings in a number 10 can of German Potato Salad?

You can't determine the number of servings in a #10 can of German Potato Salad just from the can size. Here's why:

* #10 cans are standardized: They hold a specific volume (approximately 106 ounces or 3.1 liters), but that doesn't tell us how much food is inside.

* Recipe variation: German Potato Salad recipes vary wildly in their ingredient amounts, affecting the final volume of the salad. Some recipes are denser with potatoes, while others have more dressing or vegetables.

* Serving size: "Serving" is subjective. One person's serving could be half a cup, while another might eat a full cup.

To figure out the servings:

1. Know the recipe: Check the recipe you're using for the estimated yield. It might be listed in cups or even servings.

2. Consider the serving size: Decide how much you think is a reasonable serving for your guests.

3. Calculate: Divide the total volume of your salad by the size of each serving.

Remember: It's always better to overestimate servings than to underestimate them. You can always save leftovers!
