Abstract
A dough of about 26% solids and about 74% moisture by weight comprising cooked intact separated potato cells, a synergistic binder-film forming matrix system, and water is formed into rice-like pellets or strips which are predried to about 30% moisture in hot air after which the predried pieces are coated with oil and heated at about 300.degree. F. to texturize the surface. The pieces are then dried to about a final 7-8% moisture by weight to produce a dehydrated instantized texturized piece which can be reconstituted by standing in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes to produce a finished dish with unique rice-like texture. Other dishes such as Hashbrowns, potato pancakes and one-pan stove top recipes such as Spanish rice, rice pudding and the like can be made from the dry or reconstituted product.
