I am boiling red potatoes for 70 people. How many lbs can you cook in a turkey deep fryer or crab cooker about 30 qt size?

It is safer to boil several smaller pans and the potatoes cook more evenly. In fact, you can oven roast red potatoes for a MUCH easier prep. You are looking at 25-30 pounds potatoes. See:

If you do boil, fill pot 1/2 full with water and bring to a full boil before adding potatoes, plan to do 2 batches.
