Yes it can. Although you will not be receiving the same taste, it will be barely noticeable. Do not worry about the substance making it taste weird or bad, as it will not.
NO
Yes, for 1 cup of regular flour you can replace it with 2/3 cup of potato starch[ not potato flour] and 1/3 cup of soy flour. Do not over beat, just very briefly blend because the starch can get rubbery. It is my favorite combo for cakes.Makes nice light cakes. Sorghum flour makes nice cakes.
No, they are not the same. They are both starches and can be used as thickening agents, but they come from different plants. Each has different thickening capabilities and they have different flavors.
I believe tapioca starch.
Potato flour in a bread recipe is used to keep the loaf moist. First, never substitute potato starch for potato flour. Potato flour is made from a whole dried potato and potato starch is starch just like corn starch, etc. Easiest is to use dehydrated or instant potatoes as a substitute. Grind the flakes to a powder if you wish. Another is to bake a russet potato, allow to cool and scoop out the amount you need. It's best not to used mashed potatoes unless they were made without added ingredients like milk, butter, salt, etc. With a baked potato you may have to reduce the water or liquid a bit. Potato flour can be left out of a recipe and replaced with additional flour since it is used to keep a loaf of bread moist.
Well yes unless your allergic to those also ............????
potato stores the starch in its root.
Potato starch
A potato is a vegetable that has a lot of starch in it.
Starch is not a solution.
In general cornstarch is used to thicken liquids and can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, coconut flour and even instant mashed potato granules. For frying, flour, salt and pepper is a decent substitute for cornstarch.
I believe so.
Rice, Potato, Corn to name a couple. Their starch flour is safe as well - corn starch, potato starch etc
