Quick Summary
Potato flour is made from potatoes that have been ground into a pulp and washed to remove fiber. It is used in baking and as a thickener for sauces. While starch from tubers like potatoes is a significant source of carbohydrates in the human diet, potato flour itself is a specific product derived from the potato. In some countries, potato flour is produced by drying, grinding, and sieving cleaned potato slices.123
