Is Potato Starch Interchangeable With Cornstarch?
Potato starch and cornstarch are both used as thickening agents, but they are not interchangeable in all recipes. Potato starch has a lighter texture and is a good choice for gluten-free baking as it adds moisture, while cornstarch is heavier and can make a dish appear cloudy if overused. It’s best to follow the recipe and use the specified starch or experiment with small amounts to find the right consistency.
