Question

I found this recipe to make instant fufu on youtube and one of the ingredients is potatoe starch and I havent been able to find it n e where(ive checked a grocery store called Freshway, walmart, ingles, and Krogers)

If i can use the cornstarch as a substitute do i use the same amount as i would the potato starch or more?

what about potato flour?

the traditional way is too complicated for me.

Answer 1

The  best  time  to  get  Potato  starch  is  around  Easter  Season.  I  get  mine  at  Krogers  in  the  Jewish  section  of  the  store.  Or  you  can  ask  the  manager  about  where  the  p/s  is  located...  it  is  much  better  than  cornstarch.  Once  you  use  it,  you'll  want  it  instead  of  cornstarch.  It's  not  expensive  either.
