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 × 16 = 36.29 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
