In paticular I would like to get suggestions on how many pounds of potatoes for potato salad, pounds of macaroni for macaroni salad and pounds of baked beans to serve 100. I intend to use all three of the above to feed these people, because this is what they asked for. In addition how much fruit salad to make for the same 100, however this might be used for dessert as well.

Hi Brian,

Please go to the bigpots index page and scroll down about 1/2 way. There is a whole group of pages on planning for 100. You want the BBQ page, the salad page, the fruit tray page for the fruit salad. You will need 10 gallons total of side dishes, of which 4 to 4 1/2 should be potato salad, about 35 pounds of potatoes. 6 pounds dry uncooked macaroni for the pasta salad (rotini is easier to eat and to store, doesn't squish so easily). Be sure to read the food safety pages as well. Have fun.
