Re: (...)
From "The Best Clam Chowder":
1 # sized potatoes, peeled, and cubed into half inch cubes
Does it mean 1 pound?

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone whose life has given them vodka.

Yes, that is the symbol for pound. So how about the rest of the recipe? I would like to judge if it is in fact the "best"!

Correct: # = pound
Thanks!!
But if it's before the numerical number it means size, right?

I don't know about the can sizes. So, now it's after 5
and I'm distracted easily, so I looked for what the meaning of # really is and found an interesting website,
Symbols.com that explains probably every symbol ever drawn since the beginning of time!
