Abstract
A process for preparing low fat shaped snack products having a light, crispy, crunchy texture is disclosed. A dough is formed from 50% to 70% flour, preferably potato flour, at least 3% hydrolyzed starches and a relatively low level of water (20% to 40%). This dough is formed into a sheet from which snack pieces are cut. The snack pieces are fried to provide a snack having 20% to 32% fat and having more and better flavor.
