  I don't know about pounds, but we usually do 1 1/2 potato per person. For Thanksgiving there is so much food that we do 1 per person.

  I think about 1/3 to 1/2 pound per person is more than enough, especially if you have  alot of other sides and dessert.  I am in charge of mash potatoes.  I usually make 10 pounds to serve 20-30 people (some small people, but about 20 adult sized).

  I agree with you...I think 8 pounds should be enough!

  I'm having the same amount and might just cook 10lbs. At least that way I am guaranteed some leftovers
