Potato Starch

Extracted from potatoes, potato starch is one of many starch options along with cornstarch. It’s often used as a thickening agent or dredge for proteins before frying. I prefer potato starch over cornstarch, especially when frying, because it creates a crisp texture due to its high-temperature tolerance. But, it can be swapped with more commonly found starch options, such as cornstarch, for recipes like Spicy Seafood Stir-Fry over Rice.
