There was a comment, however, from someone who has done it. Do you have a commercial kitchen to prepare in, would be one of my questions, but the nice thing is that you can prepare the potatoes to be ready to go into the oven, the day ahead already. You can do a lot of the prep ahead. All the best! Would love to hear how it turns out.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-74037352682441014902013-02-04T19:39:22.221-08:002013-02-04T19:39:22.221-08:00All the best, Jen!

We are expecting about 225 people. Any tips for such a large croud? I love the idea of washing the potatoes in the dishwasher. Can you tell me more? What setting, do you run the dry cycle? Do they bake if you run the dry cycle.

We'll see what my partner says...! <br /><br />I'm thankful for the "cook for a crowd" section! We'll be looking at serving about 75!

About 22 of us. I used your timeline and menu for our potato bar. It worked great! I started at 2pm to get things ready, and had it ready by 6pm. Yes, it takes a while to make and chop everything, but it was fun. All the while my Mom and daughter were also in the room, reminising and looking at photos, before the big group arrived. Also served BBQ farmer sausage, greek salad (as you suggested) and brocolli salad (thus the exra time). Happy Mothers Day to you too, Anneliese!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522380131388660851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-13497426883513111612012-04-24T13:50:49.622-07:002012-04-24T13:50:49.622-07:00I'm so excited to use this idea (with baby pot...I'm so excited to use this idea (with baby potatoes) for a baby sprinkle I'm hosting in a few weeks.

Very fun! I really like some of the tips of the others who commented and I like your time-line Anneliese. I am never good at estimating how much time things take. My little idea is that we use creamed corn instead of kernel corn.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522380131388660851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-80525604885818583802012-04-23T09:59:07.160-07:002012-04-23T09:59:07.160-07:00What a great idea!
