The standard serving size is 2/3 cup per person. In general, a pound of potato yields 2 cups of mashed, so you want to start with about 4-1/2 pounds of potatoes. If you use large potatoes (a pound or more each), you'll need four or five. If you use medium potatoes (at about a third of a pound), you'll need around 13 potatoes.
