Potato Salad For 40 ?

[Siracusa8]

I'm anxious for guidance as to how many kilos/pounds of potatoes i need to buy and any recommendations as to the best type of spud; i.e. one that won't turn to mush! many thanks in advance

I would use salad potatoes and leave the skins on.

[boxtops]

agree with ummm, there are plenty of tiny new potatoes in the shops now.

I'd allow about 150gm per person,and I'd go for Charlotte every time.

There's 100 portions here. Could you used half of whats recommended for 50 portions?
