9 potatoes at 8 servings, so 40 servings would be 45 taters.  Here's the recipe I use, and always with yukon gold potatoes.

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings  

Ingredients

9 potatoes, peeled and cubed
6 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.
Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, and mash until smooth. Mix in the cream cheese, sour cream, onion powder, salt, pepper and butter. Cover, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
Spread potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven about 30 minutes.

Generally speaking you will want to estimate between 1/3 and 1/2 pound of mashed potatoes for every guest you intend to feed. You will need 20-30 pounds, as cheap as they are I would go with 30 pounds. There are hundreds of uses for leftover mashers.

Even with a giant steak and veggies, I'd still want a pound of taters available to me.

I always think..." if this were a whole potato, how many would each person eat?' Most people would not eat more than one. So the answer is 60 baked potato sized. Some people will eat more some less.

If you run out, screw em.

30 pounds peeled and sliced (1/2 in.) russet potatoes.  3 sticks unsalted butter.  3.75 quarts heavy cream.  Salt and pepper to taste.

What you need to do is get a bunch of cheapass appetizers to have laying around and then serve the dinner late. That way they will all be eating the appetizers all day and be too full for the main course......................................unless their fattty's

The thing is, you can't yell at someone you invited for dinner, for eating.  If they take too much (more than you'd planned for), you have to still have enough for everyone.  This is why you always make at least twice what you think you'll need.  Worst case?  Potato pancakes in the morning!

Mashed taters are like guns, best to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

This.  Taters are something sacred.


 






ETA- I'll go as far as to say that if I had the choice between a perfect steak, and perfect taters, I'd take the taters.

Granny said one big one for each person, and one for the pot. Your pot's going to be pretty big, so give it a few more.

Or 87.

Honestly, I just eat the box.  I'm afraid to buy more than one box.  One afternoon, I bought three boxes.  The next morning, I was wondering where they all went.  I'm surprised I'm not diabetic.

 






My poison is the shortbread ones, though.  Fuck they're good.
