Since the directions on the bag of Potato Pearls is for making the entire bag at once, I needed to figure out the ratio of water to potato pearls. The amount I figured was for one serving: 1/4 cup of PP to 1/2 cup hot H2O.
Serv - Pearls - Water
1 - 1/4 c - 1/2 c
2 - 1/2 c- 1 c
4 - 1 c - 2 c
6 - 1 1/2 c - 3 c
8 - 2 c - 4 c

Thanks! This was very helpful!
THANK YOU!!
Ever since they changed the packaging I always forget the ratio for these ... so thank you so much for posting this! I hope you don't mind that I've read a bit through your blog & some of your conversion story. You are an inspiration!
You just helped us too! Thank goodness this blog entry comes up first on a Google search of "Deseret Potato Pearls"!!! Thank you!
Thank you! Saved me from having to figure it out.
Thanks for posting this, I had the bag in front of me staring at it for many minutes trying to calculate equivalent measurements but your site did the trick: 2 to 1 relationship of water to Potato Pearls, just like rice, only faster.
Thank you so much. I had worked in a school cafeteria and found these potatoes to be as good as home made...well, in a pinch. Was so happy to be able to find them, but have had a hard time with cutting down the recipe. You are a life saver!!48 nyited
I lost the bag for our potato pearls, so I was very grateful to have stumbled upon your blog! I too am LDS in the Midwest. :)
Awesome! Thanks!
8 person should be 3 cups pp 6 cups water..
Nice to find this 2 to one ratio. Thanks!
Yes this is AMAZING!! My husband threw away the bag and put the pearls in a jar...so I had no idea what to do. Google searched and found you!!
A life saver! Thanks!

Thanks! Dinner by Dad wasn't a disaster tonight (as it usually is)!
thanks a bunch! I can never remember the ratio of water to potato.
this is one food storage item my family eats :) I've thought of doing my own blog that is titled 'real food storage'
because, lets face it, not all traditionally stored foods are ones kids like to eat.
thanks again,

Thank you !
Broke out food storage can marked 'potatoes' today and realized it was potato pearls! Used your ratios to create a 'twice baked' casserole. Thanks!
...and yet again...you've helped me out...lol. Thanks.
Oh my gosh! Can I say LIFESAVER!!! Thank you 🙏🏻 so very much! I would have been here a long time just staring at my iPhone calculator and the PP bag HAHA....
I'm doing the same
Can someone tell me how much it makes? Does 1 cup of potato pearls make 2 cups of mashed potatoes? I need to know the actual AMOUNT it makes in volume, not the number of servings. I've read that 1/4 cup pearls makes 2-3 servings-- but I can't find anywhere that says how much a serving is. Thank you!
Thank you so very much!!

But still,
Thanks for the help with these amazing pearls!
