Crackers of the gluten-free variety also benefit from the use of potatoes. When adding various forms of dehydrated potato products to a gluten-free cracker application, such as potato flour, flakes and granules, there are many positive attributes to be noted:
- Enhanced browning
- More uniform shape
- Appealing appearance
- Improved flavor
- Sturdy, crisp structure
- Tender, friable texture
Because dehydrated potato products are cost effective, a whole nutritious food, and clean-label friendly, using them in gluten-free cracker formulas can add appeal to manufacturers and consumers alike. Additionally, the neutral and familiar flavor of potatoes fits well into this savory application. See this example formulation to start your own testing below:
