How much potato salad for 25 people?

It's tough to give an exact amount without knowing your guests' appetites and if you're serving other side dishes. However, here's a good rule of thumb:

For a main side dish:

* 1-1.5 cups of potato salad per person

This assumes potato salad is a primary side dish. If you have other sides, you can adjust this down.

For a lighter side dish:

* 1/2 - 1 cup of potato salad per person

This is good if you have a lot of other food options.

Here's how to estimate:

* Conservative: 25 people x 1/2 cup = 12.5 cups of potato salad

* Average: 25 people x 1 cup = 25 cups of potato salad

* Generous: 25 people x 1.5 cups = 37.5 cups of potato salad

Remember:

* You can always make a little extra, especially if you want leftovers.

* Adjust the amount based on the other foods you're serving.

Enjoy your potato salad!
