Potato starch is just that, the starchy part of the potato. Potato flour is the whole potato. They are two different items. One cannot replace the other in a recipe. Potato starch is best combined with tapioca flour or arrowroot flour in bread making. Here is a good site that explains all the different gluten free flours......http://theworldofglutenfreebread.blogspot.com/search/label/Flours

Potato starch is only made from the starch of the potato and is flavorless but potato flour uses the whole potato, thus has the taste of potatoes. The starch is good for thickening gravy or sauces ( just don't boil), or using in recipes when you want a fluffy texture , where the flour can be added to gluten free baking recipes, if used in small amounts. P.S. I use both, and always Bod's Redmill products.

I believe it is the same product. It is a good quality whole wheat flour. I have been using it to bake bread and I have also used it for pancakes. Hope this helps.

I use a recipe book "Gluten Free Baking Classics" by Annalise G. Roberts. She uses a flour mix for her recipes that uses potatoe starch. This is a great book for most any gluten free baking, including tortillas.

I believe this Arrowroot Powder is the same as Arrowroot Starch. Another brand that sells Arrowroot Starch/Flour had the following on their site "...The liquid and fine powders that make it through the sieve are dried, leaving the useful arrowroot powder behind...." And I use this Arrowroot powder the same way. I use when a recipe calls for arrowroot or as a substitute for cornstarch. So much better for us. You can research or just check out http://blog.morethanalive.com/ for additional information. or check out http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-arrowroot.htm

Enriched flour is all-purpose flour that has iron and B-vitamins added. Whole wheat flour is coarser than all-purpose flour and contains the bran, germ, and endosperm from the wheat plant, making for a flour that's denser and heavier. Answered by BHGFood

Some Asian recipes call for use of potato starch instead of corn starch. It is also said to be gluten free.

In not sure if is a starch. It has a higher carb content than almond flour. But it mixes better in normal recipes, like reg flour

It is a slower digesting flour, so less starch converts to glucose at a time. It makes it easier to manage for diabetics.

To me they are about the same. They both provide great texture and for the paella I had used both.

The ingredients are, in order, brown rice flour, sweet rice flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, potato starch, and xanthan gum. Their description is "superfine" flours. I think that and the starches make it better than the previous flours I've tried. I made cookies today and they didn't crumble and fall apart as I was taking them off the cookie sheet, I was happy about that. Next I'll try baking a cake. I have a terrible sweet tooth...

Good Morning, No they are different. If a recipe calls for potato flour thats what you'll need. The potato startch as the look and feel of cornstartch. Here is a description of the difference that i found online:Differences From Potato Starch FlourMany people confuse potato flour with the similar-sounding potato starch flour. Starch flour is different in that it is made only from the tuber's starchy proteins. This makes it behave more like typical wheat products, but many cooks describe its taste as much denser. Flour made from whole cooked potatoes can make baked goods seem lighter and moister, while starch flours often add bulk. Good Morning, No they are different.

Potato flour is made from whole potatoes. It has a potato taste, and can be added to recipes that call for flour, but it has no gluten so it won't help hold things together the way wheat flour does. If you look online you can find lots of potato bread recipes, almost all of which are mostly wheat flour. Often the recipes that don't have wheat flour in them will include a gluten free flour (like rice flour) and use eggs to hold things together. Potato starch is a fine powder made only from the starch of potatoes (like tapioca starch, or corn starch). It is not a flour, and is used primarily to thicken things (like soups), or to make things creamier. It can be added to increase the stickiness of gluten-free recipes like bread. It's almost always added as an adjunct to recipes, and never as the main event.

I don't even know what is unmodified potato starch. I bought it because I'm gluten free now and I know that potato is one of the "Dirty Dozen List" of produce that has to be organic. Could you tell me what is unmodified, please?

I have tried both products and found for my personal use I like the Glutino. It just worked better in my bread machine and had a better flavor.

No, potato starch is much finer than potato flour and I wouldn't recommend using it as a substitute for potato flour. :)
