What it is
Shredded potatoes are raw potatoes that have been grated or cut into fine strips. They are typically made from starchy potato varieties and are often found in frozen or refrigerated forms, ready for cooking. The shredding process increases the surface area, allowing them to cook more quickly and evenly.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use shredded potatoes as a base ingredient in many savory dishes, providing texture and substance. They are commonly found in frozen breakfast items like hash browns and breakfast bowls, as well as in casseroles, gratins, and as a component in some processed snacks. Their ability to absorb flavors makes them versatile in various recipes.
Health notes
Shredded potatoes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin C. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated potatoes and potato products, and they are considered a staple food. No specific health concerns are associated with the consumption of shredded potatoes at typical intake levels.
Allergen info
Potatoes are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
