How to recognize it

A milled potato ingredient made from previously frozen potatoes; distinct from white purified potato starch and ready-made frozen potato noodles.

Mix with water to make wrappers for steamed Yanji potato dumplings; cook before eating.

The name describes the potato treatment, not a requirement to serve the flour frozen. Check packaged blends for other flours or additives; do not substitute spoiled potatoes.
