The Dietary Reference Intakes set an Adequate Intake for total fiber of 25 g a day for women aged 19 to 50 and 38 g for men of the same ages. Measured against those, the 5.1 g in a 1 cup serving of potato, hash brown, from school lunch is 20% of the first and 13% of the second. US food labels use a single Daily Value of 28 g instead, which puts this serving at 18%.
Calorie for calorie, the figure is 1.5 g of fiber per 100 kcal (this serving is 349 kcal). Among the 200 prepared meals with USDA energy data here that is 116th, and 606th across all 957. The intakes above were derived from 14 g of fiber per 1,000 kcal, or 1.4 g per 100 kcal, so this food sits above the ratio a whole day of eating is meant to reach.
Getting all 25 g from potato, hash brown, from school lunch alone would take 5 servings, and 38 g would take 8. Most days reach the target through several different sources.
