| ABSTRACT: Small and off-grade Atlantic variety potatoes, which are normally
not processed into products, were extruded and formed into precooked,
ready-to-serve simulated baked potatoes. The potatoes were abrasion peeled,
diced, steam blanched for 3 min, blended with 7% nonfat dry milk and extruded.
The extruded product was filled into potato shaped plastic molds and stored at
-2OC for 24 h. Subsequently the frozen product was removed for the molds and
dipped into a batter of wheat flour, water, glycine and dextrose to form skin
and again stored in frozen conditions above. Deep frying of the frozen products
in corn oil at 190C for 3 min stabilized the skin coat. The microwave-baked
simulated potatoes were evaluated for texture, flavor and color, and showed a
high degree of acceptability. |
