These potatoes would be golf ball size.

Three because I would do mashed potato too.

goodbyemrschips · 13/04/2011 19:58

I have just eaten 8, and my son said it was not possible to eat 8 and the rest of the meal as well.

He was wrong.

I must be abnormal because I will only generally eat two! I'm usually too full to eat any more.

I would do about 12 for my dh of that size (he is unfairly slim).
I would eat 4
Dd would eat 5 (aged 6)

My goodness you guys eat a lot of potatoes. I like them too but can't eat so many with other stuff too. Mind boggles at "allow 5 potatoes per adult" :D.

Asinine · 13/04/2011 20:03

3 but with 2 yorkshires, parnips, carrots, creamy cheesy leeks, gravy and lots of meat

Loads plus DS will eat all Yorkshire Puddings.

Asinine · 13/04/2011 20:03

I like them in the micro for lunch the next day, too

goodegg · 13/04/2011 20:04

I'd have 3 normal roasties, but would have 6 if golf-ball-sized.

5Foot5 · 13/04/2011 20:05

I find 4 enough but DH and DD would probably eat more.

But why do you ask?

pink4ever · 13/04/2011 20:05

Ooooooooohhh I would put 5 on my plate but keep sneaking into the kitchen for more! Fil doesnt like roastiesShock

BecauseImWoeufIt · 13/04/2011 20:05

How big are your ovens?!

goodbyemrschips · 13/04/2011 20:06

My spuds are bigger but I could not think of something to size them against.

So I thought golf ball size everyone knows and take my mathematics from there.

OP posts:
goodbyemrschips · 13/04/2011 20:07

I have two ovens. each with three shelves.

lesley33 · 13/04/2011 20:10

2-3 per person. I always find this is enough with all the vegetables as well. I can't believe how many some of you eat.l

goodbyemrschips · 13/04/2011 20:12
