Potato Starch 감자 전분
Potato starch is a fine powder made by extracting starch from raw potatoes. It is white and soft to the touch. In Korean cooking, potato starch is frequently used as a thickening agent for sauces. It's also found in various dough and batter recipes.
In contrast to regular flour or other starches, potato starch thickens without adding too much heaviness, and it doesn't dull the color of a dish.
