MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

[starfire]

Don't know if anybody is interested in this but I rather liked the article. Possibly because I have been using potato flour to thicken things.

That's a good article. We need to remember to move this thread to Dee's Kitchen, within a few days, before we lose track of it.

Thanks.

Love,
Tex

Hi Shirley,

Interesting article - thanks for posting it. I grew up with "potato pancakes", for which I'm sure they used potato flour. I was quite fond of them, and am now inspired to do some research to see if I can come up with a good recipe.

Love,
Kari

Kari,

I used potato flour in place of eggs for a binder when I made potato pancakes. They tasted fine.

Kari or Gloria... I'd be interested in a good receipe for potato pancakes if someone posted one in the kitchen. :)

Oma... It was good to see a post from you. I think of you a lot.

Love, Shirley

Shirley,
I use leftover mashed potatoes, an egg, some garlic powder or fresh chopped garlic, onion powder or fresh chopped onion, a little potato starch, mix all ingredients together and form potato patties.
Add some oil & earth balance DF/SF margarine in a skillet that has been preheated, add the patties and brown well on both sides. They don't take long to make at all.

Love
Dee

Shirley-
Thanks for the useful article. I use potatoe flour in my bread maker. I've seen potatoe starch and wondered what the difference was. I will stick with the flour. It said that the flour soaks up fluids more readily so I will tweak my recipe a little.

Informative article. It clarified some things I'd been wondering about.

Thanks Dee,
Can you believe I've never made potato pancakes. Going to give it a try. I love potatoes most any way they are made.

Love, Shirley

Shirley,

A local Italian restaurant has potato flour pasta. It is very good and I am completely non-reactive to it. It is on their gluten free menu. So this has merit IMO.
