How many potatoes in a kilogram?

Answer 1

This does not have a simple answer as a potato is a very complicated mixture of many different compounds ranging from those as simple as water to large carbohydrate and protein molecules made up of many thousands of atoms. Also the values will be different for every potato, as no two are the same even if its the same weight.

You would have to determine the number of moles of every compound independently, but you cannot add those values.

Answer 2

That would depend on the size of the potatoes. Sometimes I get baking potatoes that are quite large and there might be two and a half or three to a kilogram. More often I want the small fresh potatoes and then I will get fifteen or more to a kilo.

I'm sure that someone, somewhere has grown a single potato that weighs more than a kilogram. When you pick potatoes sometimes you will bring up a bunch that are as big as peas and you would need several hundred of those to amount to one kilogram.
