Question: 5 lbs potatoes how many?
Answer: It obviously depends on the size of the potatoes, my guess would be anywhere from 1.5 to 3 potatoes per pound, so a five pound bag could be anywhere from 8 large to 16 medium potatoes. When you get a regular 5 pound of potatoes you would use for a kugal in a 9x13 pan, a simple bag from the grocery!
