How Much Food Should I Make For Thanksgiving?
How much food you make will depend entirely on how many people you’re hosting. My strategy for classic Thanksgiving sides is to make one recipe from each category of iconic dishes and adjust the portions based on the number of guests. This is my go-to list of side dishes and how much I make…
- Fresh Salad: 1 to 2 cups of salad per guest
- Mashed Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes: 1/2 cup to 1 cup per guest, which evens out to about 1 medium raw potato per person
- Stuffing or Dressing: 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup per guest
- Cranberry Sauce: 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup per guest
- Roasted Veggie: 3/4 cup to 1 cup per guest
- Casserole: 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup per guest
