Answers:
It is hard to say because some are large and some are not!. 3 or 4 large or 5 small!. If it is more it couldn't hurt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I always have to guess at it!. I will boil my potatoes with the skin on!. , cool them, peel and mash!. I will measure out my 3 cups and if I have any left over, I will freeze them for later use!. Any left over frozen ones can be used for everything from pies to breads to muffins!. Good luck, this always works for me because I have no idea how much actually makes the amount I need!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends on the size of the sweet potatoes you are buying!. Some are huge, and some are really tiny!. They don't shrink much when cooked, so I would base my estimate on their raw size!. I would say an average size sweet potato would probably be about a cup!.!.!. so I'd use 3-4 average size ones (just to make sure there's enough)!. If they're really big, then 2 is probably good!. If you have a little extra, that's probably not a problem either!. :) Www@FoodAQ@Com

about 3, but of course it depend upon their size!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
