Question
How many pounds of patatoes do i need for 120 people for wedding reception thank you

Answer
You will need about 5 oz of potato per person, so for 120 people you will need about 42 pounds of potatoes, allowing for the bad ones and spots that need to be cut away before cooking. Drizzle them with olive oil and some sea salt and fresh ground pepper.  A dusting of garlic powder would also be good.  Roast them at 375.
