Zusammenfassung:A crispy and puffy snack food, such as a chip, and method of making the same is disclosed. The method includes mixing potato flour with oil and water and cooking the mixture; adding more water and extruding the cooked mixture; rolling the extruded mixture to a sheet; cutting the sheet into shapes; drying the shapes; puffing the shapes; and optionally coating the puffed shapes with oil, salt, and/or seasonings. The shapes may be round or polygonal with a diameter or sides about 1.3 to about 5 cm in length and have a bulk density of about 60 to about 120 g/L and an undulating surface due to trapped air pockets. The snack food can include other vegetable ingredients and flavorings.
