Question: what is the difference between potato flour and potato flakes?
Answer: Potato Starch Flour will not absorb much water in cooking or baking, dehydrated potato flour will absorb a lot of liquid as it's been pre-cooked. ... Dried Potato Flakes are peeled, pre-cooked potatoes that are dehydrated and usually used as instant mash. It isn't often used in recipes for baking as it tends to be heavy.
