Potato starch is a fine white powder used as a thickening agent and binder in cooking and baking. It creates glossy sauces, stabilizes fillings, and yields light, tender baked goods when used properly.
Potato starch is a versatile, gluten-free thickener extracted from potatoes. Use it to thicken soups, sauces, gravies, custards, and pie fillings, or as a coating for frying to achieve extra crispness. It mixes smoothly with cold water before adding to hot liquids. Store in a cool, dry place and keep sealed to maintain freshness. Common in many cuisines, it provides neutral flavor and strong thickening power.
