The Authentic Foods Potato Starch is a great starch to use in gluten-free baking and cooking.  It can make sauces, gravies, stews and soups thicker and can add more volume to breads. 

For those who are allergic to corn, this is the perfect alternative to using corn starch.

In Bette Hagman’s book, The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast & Healthy, the Authentic Foods Potato Starch is one of the three flours found in her “GF Flour Mix.”
