It's not a salad it's a carb side. Rule for any meal is meat + 3. Meat main, carb side, veggie side, salad side. You can swap the carb side for another savory side, or do 2 rich veggie sides depending on cuisine. A basic example of a BBQ version is brisket+beans+cornbread+Caesar, or a healthier meal could be roast chicken + dinner rolls + seasonal green salad + roast veggies and gravy

10 lbs of potatoes would be in the neighborhood of about 40 1/2 cup servings.

A single 5lb bag would be heaping amounts in both pans. Tip on potatoes salad is to go heavy on addons. I fricking hate a sweet dressing, so I tend to go savory with chopped dill pickles, at least a dozen hardboiled chopped eggs for that amount, brown mustard, lots of black pepper, 2-3 chopped red onions (very fine dice) and toss in fine diced Mama lils hot peppers. Use a vinegar + mayo sauce as the base. I do it by feel, not recipe. Boil the potatoes until they crumble lightly but aren't mush.

Instead of limiting yourself to the size of a pan, you should really just get 2 large punch bowls and use those to serve. They'll hold large amounts and you won't have to think about portion size like you do with pans. Anyway ...
This says 12 pounds of red potatoes for a 13x9 pan: https://www.reynoldsbrands.com/recipes/potato-salad
This one doesn't specify the potato type (so probably Russet), but calls for 4.5 pounds: https://www.bigoven.com/recipe/baked-potato-salad/29062
As for recipes, how about a loaded baked potato salad? I'm a fan of just about anything this guy makes, he's got a recipe at the bottom of the page here: https://kentrollins.com/pork-steak-and-beans
