The original recipe has 3 1/2 cups of potatoes and 3 1/4 cups of water.
4.
If you put 5 cups of potatoes, you can find the amount of water you need using a proportion.
3 1/2 cups of potatoes is to 3 1/4 cups of water as 5 cups of of potatoes is to x cups of water.
(3 1/2) / (3 1/4) = 5/x
(7/2) / (13/4) = 5/x
7/2 * x = 13/4 * 5
2/7 * 7/2 * x = 2/7 * 13/4 * 5
x = 130/28
x = 65/14
x = 4 9/14
4 9/14 as a decimal is 4.64 which is close to 4.6666...
