What it is

How people cook with it
This flour is a useful addition to many recipes, offering a unique texture and binding quality.
- Thickening sauces and gravies
- Adding moisture to baked goods
- Creating a tender crumb in cakes
Potato flour can be used to thicken sauces, gravies, and soups. When used in cakes and quick breads, it can contribute to a moist and tender crumb. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed for your specific recipe.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike potato starch, which is derived from the starch granules of the potato, potato flour is made from the entire potato that has been cooked, dried, and ground. This results in a flour with a slightly different flavor and a more absorbent quality, making it better for binding and adding moisture.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the unused portion in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage will help preserve its quality for future use.
