Abstract
A process for preparing potato products, such as potato chips, cottage fries, and French fries is provided. The process includes the steps of: placing raw potato slices on a moving conveyor belt; dockering the potato slices by moving the slices under a rotating dockering brush having flexible bristles; and then cooking the dockered potato slices. The finished products are characterized by fewer pillows and blisters, lower moisture contents, and reduced cooking times.
