Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 cups of potatoes (diced)

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw and cooked produce have very different weights per cup. Cooked vegetables shrink and become denser. These conversions are for raw produce.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
