Abstract: A process for producing shaped large-piece dried potato products, in which raw potatoes are peeled, cut to a particle size of 0.6 to 2 mm in one dimension and then blanched. Surface water is removed and the particles are then covered with a coating. The coated particles are shaped to form the desired product shape. The shaped product is then dried to a water content below 12% by convection drying at temperatures below 110° C. In a further aspect of the present invention, raw potatoes may first be cut to a particle size larger than finally desired, blanched, cooled, and subsequently cut into the finally desired smaller particle size.
