Dehydrated Potato Powder

Dehydrated potato powder is made from potatoes that have had most of their water removed through drying. The process concentrates the potato solids, resulting in a fine powder. It is used to add potato flavor and texture to foods.

Manufacturers use dehydrated potato powder as a thickener and to add potato flavor and texture to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in snack foods like chips and pretzels, as well as in convenience foods such as instant mashed potatoes and some soups.

Dehydrated potato powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some nutrients found in potatoes. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated potato products, and no specific health concerns are associated with the consumption of dehydrated potato powder at typical levels found in food.
