How to convert 140 grams to cups
You’re making delicious stuffed sour cabbage rolls with tomato sauce. And the recipe calls for mashed potatoes as a side. Specifically, 140 grams per person.
Okay, cool. But what if you don’t have a kitchen scale? How much is 140 grams of mashed potatoes when you’re using a cup? Let’s figure it out.
First, mashed potatoes can vary a bit. Are they creamy and whipped? Or thick and rustic with little chunks still in there? Texture plays a role in how tightly they fill a cup. Smooth mash settles in neatly, while chunkier versions sit a bit more loosely and might leave pockets of air.
Then there’s how buttery or milky they are. If your potatoes are rich and soft, they tend to be a little heavier. If they’re drier, they’ll weigh a bit less but might take up more room in the cup.
What makes a difference is density, which tells you (simplified) how much weight fits into a certain amount of space. The denser the mash, the less space it’ll need to hit that 140 grams.
But we’re not aiming for perfection here, just a good ballpark. Here’s the breakdown:
You’ve got 140 grams of mashed potatoes.
One cup of mashed potatoes usually weighs around 210 grams.
Now divide:
140 ÷ 210 = about 0.67 cup.
This is the simple conversion formula:
Cups = weight in grams ÷ grams per cup
So, 140 grams of mashed potatoes comes out to just about 2/3 of a cup.
Don't forget that if your mash is thick and holds its shape, you might need to scoop out a bit more to hit the mark. And if it’s silky and soft, you might need a little less. Either way - you’re close, and your cabbage rolls are going to taste great with mashed potatoes!
If you’re still puzzled about how 140 grams translates to cups, this conversion guide will help sort it out. You’ll find ingredient-based tables, international cup types (US, metric, UK, and Australian), and ready-to-print charts to keep close in the kitchen.
