How It’s Made

In most cases, potatoes are the only ingredient in this sort of flour, though some manufacturers add preservatives to keep it fresh and to extend its shelf life. Whole potatoes are first cooked, usually in large industrial ovens, then dehydrated. From here, manufacturers grind them into a fine powder for an end result that resembles wheat flour in texture and feel, though it usually reacts very differently in recipes.
