Tips

  • Potato starch is an extraction, and like any extraction, there will be a byproduct that is left over in the end. At home, you can use the shredded potatoes and turn them into potato pancakes.
  • Every now and then, make something from scratch, because it will most likely have changed your perspective on the food we often take for granted.
