To make potato powder,whole of potatoes are cooked and dried and then finely ground to get a fine powder.This kind powder made from potatoes has a rich potato flavor.

The starch obtained from potatoes is called potato starch.This starch is found in the cells of the tuber of potato plant,and to extract this starch, potatoes are crushed to release the starch grains.This starch is dried and converted into a powdery form, to be called potato starch flour.Potato starch looks like any other starch and has a bland taste because of the fact that the potatoes are peeled before starting the process to make the starch.

To extract starch from potatoes,they are peeled and washed and made to undergo a process called millig. They are further refined after milling.Potato starch is very light white colored powder with a texture much like corn starch .
