This recipe calls for potato starch and I have potato flour. I need to
pick up potato starch for a bread recipe, so I will bake this later.

I thought potato starch and potato flour were the same thing, Becca. What
is the difference?

There is a difference, but when I saw the topic, I thought, Hershey

Potato flour is the term used in England. It's the same thing as
potato starch.

Maxine, I just checked the Food Dictionary on epicurious.com and you are
100% correct. I am cooking gluten-free, some of the recipes have potato
starch or potato flour, and one recipe tells me not to substitute the
other. lol Now I find out, they are the same thing. Sometimes I laugh
at me. :-)


Thanks much! Today, I will be making those brownies, although I liked
the other brownie recipe that I tried, too.

Have a laugh at the rest of those who insist that web page is right. Web
articles are only as good as the mind that created them. I was checking out
info on fruitarians this AM. You would not believe the nutty stuff that's
written!

There is only one potato starch sold in Italy and it is called fecola. It's
used quite widely in homes.

You mean, if I read it on the intergoogle, it might not be true? Well,
I am glad you cautioned me, because I tend to believe whatever I read.
Again, I laugh at me. lol Fecola... I will try to remember that.

I was under the impression that potato starch and potato flour were
different names for the same product.

Either way, the brownies look good, and are gluten-free!
