recipe converter

[primaryva]

I'm looking for a reciper converter that converts standard recipes into large recipes for a group of 175 people. Also, any large recipes for 175 people on potatoes (scalloped style). Thanks

Scalloped Potatoes for 50 servings

Scalloped "Maine" Potatoes
5 gallons sliced Maine potatoes
½ cup flour
2 quarts hot milk
1½ cups butter
3 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Wash potatoes, pare and slice. Parboil a few minutes to remove the strong flavor. Drain, place in layers in baking pans, dredge each layer with flour. Then pour over the hot milk, mixed with the butter, salt and pepper. Cook in a slow oven, one and one-half hours. Keep covered until the potatoes are cooked. Remove cover and let brown.

Hi Shortcake,

Thanks a tons bunch!!! I really appreciate the websites you listed. I am in charge of my church's activities and I am doing a christmas dinner for 175 people. Of course I am not cooking. I delegated that out to others. But I needed resources. Your a great help!
