How many servings on McDonalds French fries can you get from one acre of potatoes?

The number of servings of french fries that can be produced from one acre of potatoes highly depends on several factors such as potato yield per acre, serving size, and preparation methods. On average, an acre of potatoes can yield anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 pounds of potatoes.

One medium order of french fries at McDonald's is considered to be approximately 2.2 ounces. To determine the potential number of servings, we can divide the total potato yield by the weight of one serving of french fries.

Assuming an average yield of 30,000 pounds of potatoes per acre and a serving size of 2.2 ounces:

(30,000 pounds * 16 ounces / pound) / 2.2 ounces = 218,182 servings

Considering some potential losses during the preparation process, the actual number of servings may be slightly lower.
