First time vegetable gardener. I ordered some seed potatoes from Filaree Farms. I didn’t know how to estimate about how many seed potatoes comes in 1lb or 5lbs so I wanted to post this for reference if it might help anyone else. I got a bundle of fingerlings that are 1lb each and then 5lbs each of 2 other varieties
Clockwise from top left, these are: purple first fingerling, french fingerling, Russian banana fingerling, German butterball and Burbank russet

Sow each one four feet apart in hills with lots of fertilizer and reap another 500 lbs.
Are you planning to plant in ground or in pots/bags? Either way, you are looking at quite a harvest if you plant them all.
I used to buy seed potatoes,
but now I just use some of the smaller potatoes from my harvest to sow the next year..
