Dehydrated potato flakes prepared from potato slices, slivers and/or nubbins suitable for use in dough compositions used to make fabricated products. The dehydrated flakes are prepared such that the physical properties in the flake are controlled during processing. The resulting flakes can be used to prepare a more cohesive, non-adhesive, machineable dough.

A protein fortified complete meal snack item is prepared from a whole potato base by a process involving subdivision of whole potatoes, including skins, to provide potato pieces, adding on a weight basis of from 10% to 40% by weight of said potato pieces of edible protein fortifying additives, intimately admixing the protein additives and the whole potato pieces to provide a substantially homogeneous mixture, and extruding which provides at least partial cooking of said homogeneous mixture, resu...

A natural food product, in the form of potato snacks or treats, is disclosed. This product is the result of deep frying thin peelings of white potatoes. Presoaking of the peelings provides improved color and crispness. The product is a snack food highly concentrated in minerals without the attendant quantity of carbohydrates that exist in other potato snack foods.

A method is described for making a frozen French fry-style food product, having from about 50.0% to about 70.0% moisture, from about 4.0% to about 8.0% protein, from about 2.5% to about 5.0% fat, and from about 0.25% to about 0.50% fibers, in addition to calcium and phosphorous sources. This frozen potato-based product is made from a composition comprising steam peeled and cooked whole raw potatoes, soaked or cooked whole beans processed and mixed with the peeled cooked potatoes to create a doug...

In fabricated, thermally processed snack foods, the addition of one of a select group of amino acids to the recipe for the food inhibits the formation of acrylamide during the thermal processing. The amino acid can come from the group of cysteine, lysine, glycine, histidine, alanine, methionine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, proline, phenylalanine, valine, and arginine and can be a commercially available amino acid or in a free form in an ingredient added to the food. Amino acids can be added to...
