Abstract

Potatoes are converted into convenience food products, using techniques which provide advantages over customary operations. Example: Potatoes are cooked and mashed. The mash is shaped into strips which are then treated with hot air to case-harden their surfaces. The resulting intermediates may be fried directly or held in frozen or cold storage for future use. On frying, they yield products which have the taste, appearance, color, and texture of high-quality conventional French fries plus added advantages of higher solids content, lower fat content, and no tendency to get limp.
