Dehydrated potatoes products present an important segment of potato based convenience food both for individual households and for food service industry. They can be used as instant mashed potatoes or in soup mixes, baby foods, snack foods, frozen entrees, and pet foods.
Dehydrated potatoes are marketed mostly in either drum-dried potato flakes or as potato dices.
- Potato Flakes: Steam-cooked potatoes are mashed and quickly drum dried into thin sheets of low-moisture potato. Sheets are then broken into flakes of specified mesh size.
- Potato Dices: Fresh potatoes are peeled, cleaned, trimmed, and cut into a variety of dice sizes. Dices are then dehydrated to half their water weight before freezing.
