Role in food

What it is

Potato flakes and granules are dried, processed forms of potatoes. They are made by cooking potatoes, then dehydrating them into flakes or granules. This process removes most of the water, creating a shelf-stable ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use potato flakes and granules as a thickener and binder in processed foods. They are also used to add potato flavor and texture. Common uses include frozen dinners, mashed potato mixes, soups, sauces, and baked goods.

Health notes

Potato flakes and granules are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for their intended purpose. They are a source of carbohydrates and some nutrients found in potatoes. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated potato-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Potatoes are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
