Hi Hannah. It’s not the same, no but the best thing is that it’s much easier to find than potato starch. Look for the powdered stuff you can use to make instant mashed potatoes. If you can only find the flakes, blend them in your food processor until fine. I promise you won’t taste it in the final cookie and they’ll have a perfect soft and chewy texture! Hope this helps and let me know how it goes!

Hi Indu. Thanks for reading and for leaving a comment. I used shop-bought chevdo for convenience. I haven’t tried the recipe with a substitute for potato powder. It helps to bind the dough in this case. However, I am confident that if you used 30g smooth fresh mashed potato it will work just as well. Make sure it’s totally puréed and it should be fine!

Hi Monali, you are so kind. Thank you much for reading and following! Let me know how you like them if you do make them. Happy baking! xx
