About Potato flour

Potato flour is made from cooked, dried potato that is ground into a fine powder. It is used in baking and cooking as a potato-based flour, adding moisture retention and a distinct potato character to doughs and mixtures. It should not be confused with potato starch, which is a separated starch product.

The flour is usually pale and fine, with a mild potato flavour; it absorbs water readily and can make mixtures dense if used in excess. It is sold as a dry powder and may vary in granularity and processing. Its cooked-potato origin distinguishes it from starch and from flakes, even though all are potato-derived.
