Description

Potato flakes are a product obtained from selected, peeled and cooked potatoes, which are then dried and formed into light, loose flakes of irregular shape. They are produced without the addition of gluten and are GMO-free. They have a light cream colour and a natural, characteristic potato taste and aroma, without any foreign flavours.

Potato flakes for mashed potatoes are intended for food use and are widely used as a quick base ingredient or additive in the production of ready meals, frozen foods, snacks, soups and stuffings. Thanks to their convenient form and high sensory quality, they are valued in both industry and catering.
