What Does Potential Energy Depend On?
Potential energy depends on the mass of the object, the gravitational acceleration, and the height at which the object is located. In simple terms: more mass, higher position, more potential energy!

From my physics class experience: it's mass, gravity, and height. So, keep those three amigos in mind when you're thinking about potential energy.
It's all about mass, gravity, and height my friend. Bigger they are, higher they go, the harder they fall (or the more energy they store).
Mass and height, that's it really. Don't overthink it.
It depends on mass, gravitational acceleration, and height. Just remember: PE = mgh. Go forth and calculate!
