What Can Be Substituted For Potato Flour?

[JoyJ]

Hi. I have Betty Hagman's More Gluten Free Gourmet recipe book and would like to get a breadmaker and try out some of the delicious sounding bread recipes.

However, I notice that they almost ALL contain potato starch flour. I have rheumatoid arthritis and the best way I can keep it under control is to avoid all nightshade foods. The worst for me is potatos, and I can eat them very occasionally, but certainly not on a daily basis in bread.

What could be substituted for this type of flour and still have the breads come out?

Thanks,

Joy

I'm thinking maybe corn starch??? Maybe??? Hopefully someone else will have a more definitive answer for you.

Maybe a mix of corn and tapioca starch? Or maybe any starch, as long as you like the flavor in whatever you're making?

You could maybe call Betty Hagman and ask her. I know I have called Carol Fenster (ph # on her web site) and she helped me out with trying to make substitutions a few years ago. Its worth a try! They understand these things much better than we do! They experiment and experiment!
