Potato starch is the starch extracted from potatoes. The granules of potato starch are roughly twice the size of those from other starches, resulting in significantly higher water absorption capacity and improved texture. It is a highly refined starch, containing minimal protein or fat, which gives the flour a clear white colour. When cooked, potato starch exhibits neutral taste, good clarity and transparency, high binding strength, a long texture, and a minimal tendency to foam.
