Goodrich Cereals, Potato Pellets

Description

The potato processors offer a wide variety of dehydrated potato Pellets for foodservice and manufacturing. These products are remarkably convenient, delivering fresh potato flavor and nutrition without washing, peeling, slicing, shredding. Once rehydrated, they cook up as firmly as freshly prepared potatoes, which wins them favor with consumers who appreciate their real potato identity, flavor and texture.

Recommended Uses

Use dehydrated potato slices, dices and shreds in any formulation that calls for potatoes: soups and stews; potato salads; hash browns; and casseroles, such as scalloped or au gratin potatoes. Food manufacturers can also explore new possibilities for potato pieces in dried and canned soups and stews, and in the extruded pellets used to make some snacks.

Rehydration

Rehydrate dehydrated potato pieces by covering with water, heating to 88°C and simmering until tender. Generally, rehydration time varies between 10 and 20 minutes depending on product size, specification and supplier. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the dehydrated product you’re using, as rehydration specifications may vary.

Characteristics

Rehydrated Texture: Similar in shape, texture and appearance to fresh-cut potato pieces
Free Soluble Starch: Varies
Viscosity: Varies
Broken Cell Count: Very low

More Products

Goodrich Cereals Potato Granules

Potato granules are precooked, dehydrated potatoes produced in particulate form consisting substantially of whole tissue cells or small aggregates of cells.

Goodrich Cereals Potato Starch

Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain leucoplasts (starch grains). To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed, and the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells.

Goodrich Cereals Potato Flour (Granular and Fine Flour)

Put simply, potato flour is cooked, dried, ground potatoes with no additives. Yet, while potato flour may look like finely ground potato flakes, the two products are very different.

Goodrich Cereals Potato Flakes

Potato Flakes are the most important form of dehydrated potato products among others including potato granules, pellets, powder, shredded and sliced potato. The main reason for the widespread usage of potato flakes is their unique ability to reconstitute even with cold water.
