Q. What are the raw materials of potato flakes?

Answer

Frozen potatoes can't be used to make potato flakes or pellets; instead fresh potatoes must be used as a raw material. Flakes are the most widely consumed form of dehydrated potatoes however other forms such as powder pellets shredded and granules are available. Manufacturing facilities can make a wide variety of snack foods with consistent size and texture by using potato flakes in place of raw potatoes. Dehydrated potato flakes are made by pressing cooked baked potatoes onto a drum dryer to generate a sheet which is then torn up and pulverized to the required density.
