Home fried potatoes for 400
KJ
03/01/10 		Doing a fairly straightforward recipe for home fries with onions on a flat top grill for a church function of about 400 people.

2 meats will be served with the potatoes, plus a vegetable. Just wanted to know: 1) How many pounds of potatoes to order (Idaho #2s); 2) How to calculate this for future reference.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

53 pounds French fries
35 pounds for mashed, hashed, scalloped or boiled
Baked one per person, weight varies depending on size.
