Potato starch is a fine, white powder made from potatoes. The potatoes are crushed and then the starch grains washed out and dried into a powder. Thanks to its low protein and low fat contents potato starch is virtually flavourless, has a good binding strength and high swelling power. This makes it a good thickener for soups and it helps to keep cakes moist and give them a soft texture when used in baking.
