The different between potato flour and potato starch

Potato starch plant

The way to remember the difference is that potato flour is made from whole potatoes, while potato starch is made only from the starch of the potato.


Potato Flour vs. Potato Starch

Potato Flour production and application

Potato flour is made from whole potatoes (most of the time even the peel is included). The potatoes can be raw or cooked. Either way they are first dried then ground into flour.

The result is a heavy, cream colored flour with a distinct potato flavor. The flour readily absorbs liquid (similar to coconut flour in this regard), so it works best when incorporated into gluten-free flour blends in small amounts. Too much potato flour in a recipe will cause the finished product to be dense and gummy. For example, a muffin with too much potato flour would never fully cook through.


Potato Starch production and application

Potato starch is a very fine white powder starch, similar in texture to corn starch. If you’re not very careful when working with and measuring potato starch, you can create quite a cloud in the kitchen!

It is made from the dried starch component of peeled potatoes. It has no potato flavor so works well in most recipes, sweet or savory.

As part of the starch component of a gluten free flour blend, potato starch lends a light, fluffy texture to baked goods.

It is also a great thickener in gravies, sauces, and even in custards and puddings, which typically use corn starch.
