DESIGNED TO DELIVER
Goodrich Potato Flakes are designed to deliver consistent quality, and scalable performance across industrial food applications. Potato flakes are produced by cleaning, cooking, mashing, and drum-drying fresh potatoes into thin sheets, which are then processed into flakes. This enables extended shelf life, ease of handling, and wide application versatility.
At Goodrich, we go beyond standard flakes by offering application-specific grades tailored for texture, binding, hydration, and processing efficiency.
product range
versatility
Depending on the end application, Goodrich potato flakes can be produced with specific functional characteristics using controlled processing parameters and permitted food grade additives such as emulsifiers, SAPP, citric acid, and sodium bisulfite. These help achieve desired attributes like color stability, texture, and processing performance. We also offer additive-free (clean label) flakes, aligned with evolving market preferences.
functionality
Potato flakes are widely used both as a finished product (instant mash) and as a functional ingredient across multiple food categories.
Their versatility allows application across snack manufacturing, bakery, convenience foods, and industrial formulations, delivering consistency and efficiency in large-scale production.
precision
For certain applications, particularly snack and extruded products, higher free starch and stronger potato flavor are desirable. This is achieved by carefully controlling the cooking process to partially gelatinize starch, resulting in flakes with enhanced binding properties and richer potato taste.

performance
Reducing sugar levels play a critical role in end-product performance, especially in high-temperature processes like frying and baking. Higher reducing sugars can lead to increased browning. At Goodrich, we manage this through selection of suitable potato varieties and controlled storage conditions, ensuring consistent color and performance across applications.
Goodrich Cereals is backed by a strong technical R&D team with expertise in developing and customizing flavors such as Four Cheese, Butter, Garlic, Chives, and many more to meet diverse global requirements.
Product Applications

Potato Flakes act as a reliable substitute for fresh or frozen potatoes, offering advantages in consistency, shelf stability, ease of handling, and reduced storage and logistics costs.

Potato granules provide the ideal base for extruded and sheeted snack dough systems, delivering uniform texture, superior binding, and consistent expansion in fried and baked pellets, sticks, and chips.

Functions as an effective binder in meat products, veggie patties, and formed foods, improving cohesion without altering flavor or adding excessive starch.

Blended into breading and coating mixes for poultry, seafood, and vegetables — adds crispiness, golden colour, and improved adhesion during frying or baking.

Naturally enhances colour, flavour and mouthfeel in soups, sauces, gravies, and ready meals — acting as a clean-label ingredient with no artificial additives.

Used to extend meat, vegetable, and bakery formulations, increasing yield and volume while maintaining product quality and reducing raw material costs.

Naturally gluten-free, making them an ideal wheat-flour replacement in gluten-free breads, pastas, noodles, and snack formulations without compromising texture.

The low moisture content of granules helps extend shelf life in blended or processed food products by reducing water activity and inhibiting microbial growth.

Provides controlled viscosity and body in soups, stews, sauces, and gravies — delivering a clean potato flavour while improving product consistency.

Consistent granule size and composition ensure batch-to-batch repeatability in industrial food manufacturing, reducing variability and improving process control.

High water absorption (1:5 ratio) significantly increases yield when rehydrated, reducing the quantity of raw material required and lowering overall production costs.

Additives/Ingredients:

Mono & Diglycerides

Used as an emulsifier, these help control stickiness by interacting with free starch during processing. They also improve drum-drying efficiency and contribute to a smoother, more consistent texture in the rehydrated product.

Sodium Bisulfite

Used to protect against non-enzymatic browning, helping preserve the natural appearance by minimizing reactions between amino acids and reducing sugars during processing.

Citric Acid

Supports color stability by binding metallic ions, further reducing the risk of discoloration and maintaining product consistency.

Ascorbic Acid & Antioxidants

Act as natural antioxidant systems, helping to protect color, freshness, and overall product stability during processing and storage.

Colors, Spices & Flavors

Selected product variants may include added flavors (e.g., butter, garlic, cheese) and natural colors (e.g., turmeric-based) to meet specific foodservice and retail requirements.

Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (SAPP)

Functions as a chelating agent, binding naturally occurring metallic ions to prevent oxidation. This helps maintain a stable and consistent product color.

Shelf Life

Average life of 18 months from the date of manufacture when stored in cool, dry conditions (<30°C and <65% humidity) in the original packaging.

Shelf life can be extended up to 24 months upon request, depending on product formulation and packaging configuration.

Please refer to the specific product specification sheet, as ingredients and packaging formats may influence the final shelf life.
