A method for producing a dehydrated potato product and products incorporating the dehydrated potato product. The method includes macerating uncooked whole potatoes to form a slurry. The resultant slurry is then optionally decanted to remove excess liquid. Then the slurry is cooked to form a potato mash. The potato mash is then chilled which provides an opportunity to retrograde the starch as well as reduce the mash cohesiveness. The mash is then dehydrated to form a dehydrated potato product. Throughout various stages of processing, additives can be incorporated to adjust the texture, adhesiveness, taste, color, and shape retention of the final food product. The additives may be incorporated during the slurry phase wherein they are more readily absorbed. Further, additives may also be incorporated which reduce undesirable puffing. |
