What it is
Rehydrated potato flakes are made from potatoes that have been cooked, mashed, and then dried into flakes. Water is added back to these flakes to reconstitute them, bringing them back to a mashed potato-like consistency. This process allows for easier storage and quicker preparation compared to using fresh potatoes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use rehydrated potato flakes as a convenient ingredient to add potato flavor and texture to a variety of foods. They are often used in baked goods like breads and pizzas to improve moisture and softness, and can also be found in processed potato products, snacks, and some pasta dishes.
Health notes
Rehydrated potato flakes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are primarily a source of carbohydrates and contain some potassium and vitamin C, similar to regular potatoes. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated potato and potato-derived ingredients. No significant health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Potatoes are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
