Hi,

This might be too simplistic - but you could just ask them  :)

0.5kg packs have between 6-8 in them and the kilo packs have between 12 and 16 depending on variety as saddad says.

it actually tells you on his "potato Page".

"The majority are sized between 35mm and 55 mm in diameter. A few varieties, mainly long, narrow salads, start at 30mm. A few in short supply or round in shape may go up to 60mm. Our calculations show that the “average” net contains 13 tubers/ kg but this can be as low as 8 or as high as 20. More in the case of Mimi."
