Write this on your phone or your hand (just don’t wash it off):
Side dish: ½ pound per person. Main dish: 1 pound per person. Hungry crowd: 1.25 pounds per person. Uncle Bob: just give him the whole crate.

Don’t have a scale? No problem. Just eyeball it. A medium sweet potato is roughly the size of your fist. Your fist is a perfect measuring tool. Just don’t punch anyone while verifying this fact.
If you’re buying a bag and it says “5 pounds,” that’s perfect for 10 people as a side. If your guests are ravenous, buy two bags and call it a day. Sweet potatoes are forgiving, unlike your aunt’s opinion on your pie crust recipe.
