How Much Potato Salad Do You Need Per Person?
The amount of potato salad needed per person depends on the serving size and how many other side dishes are being served. As a general rule, it is recommended to prepare 1/2 to 3/4 cup of potato salad per person when it is the main side dish. When it is one of several sides, 1/4 to 1/2 cup per person is usually sufficient.
