Potato buds?

: Has anyone ever used dehydrated potato buds as a thickening agent for stews and /or gravy? Any downside or hidden pitfalls there? I use potato starch to thicken stews. I can't see how much different using the potato buds would be. Actually, I have used instant potato flakes a couple of times. I thought the final product was fine. Wayne

I have had no problem however please remember this does not thicken per se what happens is the potato flakes, buds absorb the excess water thereby increasing the solids and decreasing the liquid. To me there is a difference be it slight. Dimitri

Potato buds?
I remember watching a post Thanksgiving show where the lady was
demonstrating a stew that could be made of leftover turkey and things, she used leftover mashed potatoes as a thickener instead of plain starch or flour. -- Compmouse -------------------------------------------------------------------- Come join us at KittyRealm and talk about all things Sanrio! http://pub37.ezboard.com/bkittyRealm -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dimitri" wrote in message . com...
