09/12/07 		are the au gratin potatoes something that freezes well?
ellen
09/13/07 		Phil people love these, I allow 1/2 pound raw potato per person when making for buffet. You can do 1 pound for 3 people if yoou are plating the meal, not self serve.

Lauri, yes, much better than most. See my freezable potato section.

I am ordering mashed potatoes from Walmart deli for a wedding reception this Saturday 10/13. We are unsure of how many to order. Will 80 lbs of mashed potatoes be enough? Also how much gravy will I need?
Thanks!
ellen
10/10/07 		Karen, you do not say how many people? 40 pounds is pkenty for 100 people- gravy 1/4 to 1/3 cup per person depending on whether it is just for the potatoes or also for the meat.
