Potato flakes are the most important form of dehydrated potato products, which also include potato granules, pellets, powder, shredded and sliced potato. Dehydrated potato flakes are made by pressing cooked mashed potatoes onto a drum drier, which forms a sheet that can be broken up and ground to the required density. Potato flakes can be used anywhere, where one would use mashed potatoes. They are also used in commercially available products, like instant mashed potatoes, pasta and fabricated snacks. As a thickener, they enhance creamy frozen desserts, gravies and chocolate milk.
