Dried potato flake
Dried potato flakes are a type of food ingredient made from dehydrated potatoes. Potatoes are a starchy root vegetable that grows in the ground. Once the potatoes are harvested, they are processed into flakes through a dehydration process.
To make dried potato flakes, fresh potatoes are washed, peeled, and cooked. Then, they are mashed and dried to remove the moisture, resulting in a fine flake-like texture. These flakes can be rehydrated by adding water and are commonly used in various dishes to add potato flavour and texture.
Dried potato flakes are often included in food products for their convenience and ability to thicken or add potato flavour without the need for fresh potatoes. They can be found in instant mashed potato mixes, soups, stews, and baked goods. Additionally, they help improve the shelf life of products and provide a consistent taste and texture across different batches.
