Potato salad is one of the most popular and beloved dishes of summer and I’ve been asked several times to calculate how many pounds of potato salad I need to make for the “20 person” party. So here we go: 20 people will eat about 7-8 pounds of potato salad. That means I’ll need to make an extra 2-3 pounds (or more) for those of us who like more than 2 or 3 bites…

As you know, I love potato salad and I love cooking and eating with friends and family, so I decided I’d make a potato salad for my birthday party. I had never made the salad before so I had no idea how much potato salad I’d need. As it turned out, I was right on the money. I had enough potato salad for 20 people and still had some leftover. But, I had to share the secret with you, my readers. So, here’s how much potato salad I made:

An excellent question. The answer is: 19. But the protein-packed recipe below should give you a pretty good start. And, of course, you can always double or triple it (or get different ingredients, like sweet potato or corn) to make more.. Read more about how many potatoes for potato salad for 25 and let us know what you think.
