A casing dough and food composition and hand held convenience food product comprising potato shreds, cellulose gum and starch, and methods for making same. The casing material may be hollow and filled with savory filling materials. The cellulose gum and starch form a film at the exposed surfaces of the casing materials and fill voids in exposed surfaces.

Extruded potato casing and method of making

A process for making a tubular shaped hand held convenience snack food type product comprising the steps of formulating dough comprising potato shreds, cellulose gum and starch, extruding the dough through a multiple extrusion nozzle to form continuous ropes having two or more axial cavities which can be filled with savory fillings, optionally compressing the ropes, cutting and crimping ropes to form uncooked cut casings and then cooking and freezing. The dough has a moisture content of about 55% to about 75%, preferably about 60% to about 72%, to facilitate extrusion without impairing the potato shred material.

Process for making snack foods having two or more filled axial cavities

A multiple extrusion nozzle having an outer extrusion segment and an inner extrusion segment for extrusion of casing, particularly potato dough casing material, having two or more axial cavities.
