12 ounces of potatoes (diced) equals 2.27 cups. That's 340.19g, and Potatoes (diced) has a density of 150g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12 ounces of potatoes (diced)
- Convert ounces to grams: 12 × 28.35 = 340.19g
- 1 cup of potatoes (diced) = 150g
- 340.19g ÷ 150g/cup = 2.27 cups
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.

What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
