  • Patent number: 4985262
    Abstract: Aqueous liquid, a farinaceous flour and oil are applied to snack-sized, extruded farinaceous collets having an aqueous moisture content within the range of about 5-15 weight percent. The aqueous liquid, flour and oil can be individually applied to the collets, or applied together as a slurry. The coated collets are baked to reduce the aqueous moisture content of the collets to a shelf-stable moisture content of about 2 weight percent of less. Potato-based collets processed in accordance with the present invention have french-fry color and flavor characteristics, desirable non-uniform shapes, and a crispy/crunchy texture.
