Potato Flakes

Production process: European steam-peeling for zero dark spots
Flake size: 2-5 mm ultra-fine
Purity: 99% pure potato, no preservatives
Moisture: 8% max

These potato flakes are produced with European steam-peeling technology and milled to an ultra-fine 2-5 mm flake structure that dissolves smoothly in 60 seconds at a 1:4 water ratio. Moisture is 8% max and the product is 99% pure potato with no preservatives. For a catering kitchen the number that matters is yield: 1 kg of flakes makes 5 kg of mash against 3 kg from fresh potatoes, with no peeling or cooking loss and 40% faster preparation.

How it compares

Fresh potatoes cost less per kilo but lose weight to peeling and cooking and give 3 kg of mash per kilo against 5 kg from flakes, before labour. Flakes are the choice wherever preparation time, consistency and waste are costed; fresh remains the choice where a whole-potato texture is required.
