Potato Flour

Potato flour is a better way to eat your vegetables.

Ground from peeled, dried potatoes, potato flour is a clever, simple way for bakers to create a moist yeast bread (with excellent shelf life). The starch in potatoes attracts and holds water, and helps to increase the moisture content in baked goods. Potato flour, when combined with all-purpose, bread, or whole wheat flour, makes yeast dough easier to shape and handle. It’s a natural thickener for soups and stews, and adding a small amount to gluten-free recipes gives them a more tender crumb. We love to use it in waffle recipes for a softer, more delicate result, but it’s ideal for everything from dinner rolls and sweet breads to pancakes.
