How much does that equal?

A lot of times, recipes will call for a pound of an ingredient, like potatoes.  If you're like me, I have a 5 lb bag of potatoes sitting in my pantry and I don't have a kitchen scale to weigh out an exact pound.  This chart is meant to help you figure out some basic ingredient conversions for our most-used ingredients.  A fabulous chart that is more extensive can be found at this site.
