Potato starch is made from potatoes through a process of crushing, washing, and drying. Unlike potato flour (which uses the whole potato), potato starch contains only the extracted starch.

Description
This process leaves the potato starch with a fine, powdery texture that is virtually flavorless. This means it has a fairly neutral flavour making it perfect for various culinary applications.
It is gluten free, so is an excellent alternative to wheat flour in many recipes for people with gluten intolerances.
You can use it as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies, creating light, crispy batters for frying or for improving texture in gluten-free baked goods.
It can even be used to prevent ice crystal forming in frozen desserts.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight.
