Process for preparing no or low fat potato chips and straws

摘要

Potatoes are blanched, washed, treated with amylase, dehydrated, hydrated to 12% to 30%, tempered to a uniform moisture and toasted at 140 DEG C. to 220 DEG C. to about 2% moisture. The resulting product is flavored, salted and may have controlled amounts of oil, preferably between 3% and 7% by final weight, added during the process, preferably after toasting.
