Potato starch is extracted from potatoes. It is made through an extensive process of separating the starch present in potato cell walls so that it can be made into a powdered or liquid form.
Replacement for corn starch
Potato starch can be used to replace corn starch in most baking recipes. Potato starch tolerates higher cooking temperatures than corn starch, making it an amazing thickening agent for most sauces, soups and stews.
Enhances baked goods
It adds moistness to any baked goods, and is an essential ingredient in gluten free baking. Also produces cakes with a lighter texture and due to the fact that it has a neutral taste it will not affect the taste of your dishes, sweet or savoury.
Benefits:

Alternative to eggs
