How many 5 pounds bags of french do you need to feed 40 people?

I need more information to answer that question! Here's why:

* How much French fries do you expect each person to eat? This varies greatly depending on the occasion (casual party vs. a full meal), the size of the fries, and individual appetites.

* What size are the 5-pound bags? Are they bags of frozen fries? Freshly cut fries? This affects how many fries are in each bag.

To give you a better estimate, tell me:

* How much French fries do you think each person will eat (in ounces or cups)?

* What kind of fries are in the 5-pound bags?

Once I have that information, I can help you figure out how many bags you need!
