Bob's Red Mill Potato Starch, 22-ounce

Great substitute for corn starch

Great potato starch.

I use this potato starch for the last 56 years now and I must say I love this potato starch because it has a great way of creating good coating when I used to fry foods or either use for thickening sauces and it’s better than cornstarch by the way

Good for frying

use you got more for your money but it works for what I need it for.

My favorite I use for baking cooking and frying.

When we were in a restaurant, we asked the waiter how they made their French fries so brown and crunchy. They said that they coat the fries with potato starch powder before frying them. We found the brand we wanted on Amazon, and bought a few bags to try. I can confirm, this powder does make the fries more crunchy and brown. This is especially important to us because we avoid deep frying in oil, but instead we air-fry them in the oven.

I switched over to this after hearing how good of a prebiotic it is. It works great for both me and my wife (I have IBS/SIBO -D, she tends towards C).It works great as a thickener, I use it to make cheesy sauces, beef and brocolli sauce, etc. Better than corn starch for me, and thickens well.Healthwise, it seems to normalize bowel movements, without causing any gas. I can't have inulin, or my stomach gets so inflamed/ bloated, it feels like it's going to pop.But the potato starch causes no bloating, and seems to normalize BM's for both D and C prominant.+ It's supposed to be non-digestible for humans, so it doesn't actually count for calories/ carbs.The only negative is it's not organic/ non GMO, so you don't for sure know how much gut biome destroying pestisides might be in it, but assumably much less than corn or wheat. (since underground + they remove the skin)EDIT:Negative:-Zipper doesn't work- bag fell out of pantry and starch went EVERYWHERE. Tested it again by sealing it as tight as possible, turning upside down , and again, starch went EVERYWHERE. They should add a zipper mechanism that works....
