Potatoes
Water

Cooking method

• We often need potato starch. And the store is expensive. It's very easy to make your own.
• So, let's take potatoes. We clean it up. Rub on a fine grater.
• 
• It turns out like this gruel:
• 
• Fill with cold water. There should be about the same amount of water as potato mass:
• 
• Let it settle a little. Mix several times.
• 
• Then we put this mass on a sieve.
• 
• Squeeze the potato pulp well. It can then be used, for example, in fights.
• 
• We will need exactly the liquid. Let it settle. At first it will be like this:
• 
• If we overexpose, then this:
• 
• But this blackness is not terrible. Because if we merge the liquid, we will find our light-colored starch under it.
• 
• If you need starch right now, you can already use it. If you cook for good, then you need to put the raw starch in a frying pan or baking sheet and put to dry. I dry starch in the oven at 80 degrees, ventilation mode. The oven is open.
• Rub the starch with your fingers from time to time. At first, it's like this:
• 
• Then like this:
• 
• The starch is ready when it is completely dry to the touch.
• If desired, it can be additionally grinded on a coffee grinder. A medium potato makes about a tablespoon of starch.

Time for preparing:

0.5 hours without drying

toffee, Irina, great idea Thank you

Irina, thank you very much for the recipe in the summer I was looking for starch and could not buy well, now I am armed with your recipe.

Great recipe! When making potato dumplings, I always use starch. Such a recipe should always be kept in your bookmarks, as an eternal one! Thank you!

And pass potatoes through a juicer - even faster than grating.)))

class!

And pass potatoes through a juicer - even faster than grating.)))

Of course! Especially if the volume is large. And because of one potato, you don't even want to get the juicer, let alone wash it.
I'm a lazy freak.
I have a lot of all sorts of kitchen appliances that are almost unused are in the cabinets. And me in the old fashioned way - with a grater, a crush, a rolling pin, etc.

I often wondered how they used to make their starch. My grandmother knew how, but she has been gone for a long time.
Thank you.

toffee, Irina, thanks for recalling this recipe, my grandmother in the village always made such starch. Recently, I just languished that the starch was over and the store was too lazy to go as a result of what I planned to cook stretched out for a week, we went to the store and forgot to buy starch.

Irina, proceed to preparing the ingredients While in the bookmarks, suddenly come in handy

: lol: As a child, my mother made me twist small potatoes in their skins, cleanly washed through a meat grinder. How I hated it, but. experience is
The recipe is necessary and simple!

Irina, you touched me first with your recipe and memories in the topic of pies with this, and now you finished off with this recipe. I read and remembered how my grandmother made starch when I was little, and she showed me everything and I grated potatoes into a small plastic bowl, then I, as my grandmother washed it, strained it, washed it again, so that it turned out white ... touched. Thanks for reminding this recipe.

It is better to combine the experience of extracting starch with something more fundamental - for example, preparing fries for freezing, I always have packets of 8-10 fries. It's minimum. I don't have my own summer cottage - I buy in the winter and one box is occupied with potatoes. Not at the expense of convenience, I am silent - I got it - I poured it into the pan - there is always food on duty. But I have 2 extra freezers for 4 drawers in the fridge. Although there was also a place for fries before. You can cut it into slices and strips - but we immediately get starch in a larger volume than from several pieces. Although, if you make it a rule to rinse the starch and dry it on a battery, you can report constantly.
