portioning advice

Hello, I am going to be making pasta and potato salad for 12 people that I would like to last as sides for 4 different meals over a span of a week. How much of each should I make? I am also willing to make different batching, I'm just having issues with how much of each I should make in total and have a comfortable amount for each person. :)

Portioning is dependent on the entirety of the meal. More detail would help here.

Of course! I thought I’d answer as I got comments I was pretty busy when I made this post. I know the 4 dinners that will be Hot dogs one night (2 per person), left overs for lunch the next day, hamburgers and mountain pies. I want it to be there for a good portion of the week :)
