Bob's Red Mill Potato Flour, 24 oz

Milled from whole peeled russet potatoes that have been dehydrated and ground, with potato as the only ingredient on the label. This is a different product from potato starch, which is the isolated starch fraction on its own, so the two are not interchangeable in a recipe. Potato flour carries the whole potato, including its protein and fiber. Bob's Red Mill labels it Gluten Free. Net weight 24 oz.

Bakers use it in yeast breads, where it takes up and holds water, and as one component in gluten free flour blends alongside starches and other flours. It also serves as a thickener for soups, sauces and gravies, and turns up in pancake and waffle batters. It absorbs a good deal of liquid, so recipes typically call for it in small amounts rather than as the base of a blend.
