How Much Is 0.66 Pounds of Potatoes (Diced) in Cups?
0.66 pounds of potatoes (diced) equals 2.00 cups. That's 299.37g, and Potatoes (diced) has a density of 150g per cup. Because pounds measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.66 pounds of potatoes (diced)
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.66 × 453.59 = 299.37g
- 1 cup of potatoes (diced) = 150g
- 299.37g ÷ 150g/cup = 2.00 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For consistent results, weigh potatoes (diced) rather than measuring by volume. A cup of diced produce can vary by 20% depending on dice size.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
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.
