Potato Flour
Potato Flour (also: Dehydrated potato flour | Whole potato powder). Distinct potato flavour. Very absorbent; small amounts go a long way.
Naturally gluten-free. That describes the plant. On a pack, any gluten-free wording, 'naturally gluten-free' included, legally means the flour inside is within the 20 ppm limit (EU, UK, US); flour without it can pick up gluten in the mill. Distinct from potato starch: whole potato dried and milled. NOT interchangeable.
