Potatoes are grown in acres and acres of fields, and then are picked and transported to a processing plant, where the potato is bathed in anti-bacterial solutions that do not affect the potato, and cleanse the potato, and get packaged and shipped off to be sold at a store.
Potato flour is used as a thickening agent for sauces, soups and gravies. But, do not allow the potato flour to boil or strange things will happen. You can also use it as a batter for frying chicken or fish, or as an extender for meat loaf or hamburger patties.
Potato flour does not do well in breads. However, you can use half potato flour and half wheat or rice flour to make some moist breads. Potato flour makes them come out more dense that they would be otherwise.
Do not confuse potato flour with potato starch. If a recipe calls for potato starch and you don't have any, use corn starch. Do NOT use potato flour.
They are cleansed and washed, them are packed off to the supermarket.
Potatoes are cooked, then dried, finally ground into flour.

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.
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.

This is actually a difficult question to answer because the word 'latkes' just means pancake so there are countless recipes. On the assumption that you're referring to potato latkes: potato onion egg flour salt pepper (the last three are optional)
You should just leave it out... or use corn starch. I think it would be best to use corn starch considering that's the closest thing to it! Actually, something even better would potato flour!!! Use this and it will be 99.9% the same. (Potato flour is, as well as potato starch, gluten free!)-Melissa
Gnocchi is the Italian name for a variety of thick, soft noodle or dumpling. They may be made from semolina, ordinary wheat flour, potato, bread crumbs, or other ingredients of a generic disposition.
