A potato based food snack is prepared by forming a mixture of solids consisting essentially of dehydrated cooked potato solids and ungelatinized starch to form a dough having between about 40% and about 50%, solids by weight, the solids containing between about 30% to about 50% ungelatinized starch by weight, forming the dough into pieces, and frying the pieces in hot cooking oil. The dough contains a sufficient amount of free available gelatinized starch to cause the pieces to expand between about 1.6 and 3.0 times their original dimension upon frying such that they produce the desired potato snack product. |
