potato starch
Spud-derived powder
Potato starch is a fine white powder extracted from potatoes, used as a thickening agent in cooking and baking.
It produces a lighter, more delicate texture than flour or cornstarch in sauces, gravies, and baked goods.
In Asian cuisines, it creates crispy coatings for fried foods.
It's also used industrially in paper and textile production.
