A standard serving of mashed potatoe's is around six ounces. Between five and six pounds should be enough to serve 10 adults and maybe even leave you a little bit of leftovers.
Full of lumps
Yes, cooked mashed potatoes can be frozen for later use.Another response:Yes, it is possible to freeze cooked mashed potatoes, but freezing changes their texture, and most people find them unpalatable when re-heated.
enough that you should stop eating them...
A serving is considered 4 ounces, about half a cup. Two pounds should be enough to give everyone a serving. You'll need more if there isn't much else being served!
That depends how you make them. Potatoes on their own should not be considered protein, but rather a starchy carbohydrate. If you make your mashed potatoes with butter, a little milk and parmesan cheese like most people, you'll have as much protein as the milk/cheese contain. It all depends how much you add.
I think that you can pair it with mashed potatoes, broccoli, corn, sweet potatoes, or maybe some pasta.
The answer will vary with the size of the potato. 4 to 5 medium potatoes would equal about 1 pound. One medium potato is equal to about 1/2 cup, so one pound of potatoes would be equal to about 2 cups of mashe potatoes.
mashed potatoes for 1 person would be about two good sized potatoes, which weigh approximately 400g. Therefore 80kg of potatoes would feed about 200 and if anyone wants second portions or there are some larger people in your party, then 100kg or 220lb of potatoes should suffice.
you can freeze mashed potatoes, thaw out natural, i add cream cheese and sour cream to my mashed potatoesMore information:While it is possible to freeze mashed potatoes, and they will be safe to eat when thawed and warmed, their texture will suffer. Many people do not care for the watery texture of frozen and reheated potatoes of any sort. Cream cheese and sour cream would improve the final texture.
A peck of potatoes weighs about 10 pounds, this is about 8 quarts or 16 pints US dry measure. so a cup which is a liquid measure is about 7/8 of a dry half pint, or about .27 pounds per cup of whole potatoes. The volume of potatoes can be reduced by chopping or grating them. So that 1 cup of potatoes weighs about 3/4 pound grated or about 1/2 pound chopped. So 1 lb of chopped potatoes is about 2 cups more or less, and 1 1/2 cups or so if grated. The type of potato will change these measurements a bit.
It depends on how big your potato is. If it is a large one then 1/2 a potato per person. If the potato is small then 1 potato per person.
