What it is
Potato powder is made from whole potatoes that have been cooked, mashed, and dried. The drying process can be done through spray drying, drum drying, or freeze drying. It is a fine powder that retains much of the potato's original flavor and nutrients.
Why it's used
Potato powder is used as a thickener and binder in soups, sauces, and gravies. It can also be used in baked goods to improve texture and moisture retention, and in snacks like chips and pretzels for added crispness and flavor.
Health notes
Potato powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some potassium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated potato and potato products, but specific evaluations for potato powder may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Potato powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
