10 Potato Flour Recipes

Got some potato flour left in the pantry? Then you'll want to bookmark these potato flour recipes! 

Made from real potatoes, potato flour has more nutritional value than regular flour. It’s also gluten-free. So, if you’re intolerant to gluten or cooking for someone who is, potato flour makes for a fantastic alternative (when mixed with a gluten-free flour blend).

Most of the recipes below call for potato flour and all-purpose because potato flour alone wouldn't make the best cake or bread.

To make the recipe gluten-free, simply swap in a 1-1 gluten-free flour bread. Easy peasy.

Let's get to it!

1. Potato Flour Cake with Eggnog 

Let’s get the ball rolling with cake! 

This potato flour cake is seemingly simple, but wait until you take your first bite. Infused with eggnog liqueur, this cake is sweet and creamy with hints of spice. 

But it’s not really the flavor that makes this cake a star, but the texture. Thanks to potato flour and canola oil, this cake is ridiculously light. It’s like biting into a cloud.

You’ll want to highlight the delicateness of this cake, so I don’t suggest topping this with a heavy frosting.

Just dust powdered sugar on top and serve.

2. Potato Brioche Burger Buns 

For this recipe, potato flour is utilized to give the classic brioche buns a sweet and earthy twist.

Enriched with butter and milk, these buns are incredibly soft and pillowy. It’s a fantastic way to level up your hamburgers!

If this is your first time making bread from scratch, know that the process takes some time.

(And a good arm workout, if you’re not using a bread maker.)

But if the reward is these heavenly buns, I say, it’s worth it.

3. Potato Bread 

This potato bread is surprisingly soft and fluffy. It calls for a mix of wheat and potato flour, but unlike other bread recipes, the dough will stay sticky even after kneading.

That's okay! Just trust the process.

4. Caramel Apple Cake 

This caramel apple cake is sweet, spiced, and more than just nice.

If you’re craving the flavors of fall, you have this recipe to count on.

The cake itself is great, but it’s the salted caramel on top that steals the show.

It’s a sheet pan cake, which means you won’t have to trouble yourself with stacking up cake layers and frosting them with icing.

It also means one recipe can feed a lot.

As an added bonus, this recipe can be made gluten-free.  

5. Traditional Polish Cheesecake (Sernik) 

Sernik, which is Polish for cheesecake, is one of the most popular desserts served in the country. 

I mean, it’s cheesecake, so there’s really no wondering why.

While it looks and tastes similar to other cheesecakes, it uses farmer’s cheese instead of cream cheese.

This cheese has a milder flavor with a crumbly texture similar to but firmer than cottage cheese.

Also, instead of ordinary flour, it calls for potato flour, which lends the cheesecake a subtle earthy taste.

6. New England-Style Rolls 

In case you haven’t heard of or tried New England-style rolls, you’re missing out.

They’re like hot dog buns but are 10 times better.

Enriched with butter, sugar, eggs, and powdered milk, these rolls are unbelievably soft and pillowy!

The potato flour, dry milk powder, and butter make the rolls so rich and flavorful, too.

They’re like the most delicate brioche bead, in hoagie form.

So, if you’re looking to elevate your hot dogs and sandwiches, you know what to do.

7. Wholewheat Sweet Rolls with Mango Filling 

These cinnamon rolls are made even more irresistible with a sweet and fruity mango filling…

…as if cinnamon rolls aren’t addictive enough.

The combination of cinnamon and ripe mangoes gives these rolls a heavenly aroma that’ll drive your tastebuds insane!

It’s not just about the fragrance and flavor, though, but the texture, too.

Thanks to potato flour, these rolls are extremely soft, moist, and pillowy.

This is very impressive, considering the recipe also calls for whole wheat flour, which tends to dry out baked goods.

8. Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Cookies (Paleo, Vegan) 

They may not look like regular cookies, but don’t knock them till you try them!

These cookies are sweet, gooey, and wildly chocolatey.

You’ll use sweet potato flour to form the base of the cookie dough.

It doesn’t just make chocolate chips extra moist and tasty but is also vegan and gluten-free.

Don’t worry, the flour won’t make the cookies taste like sweet potatoes (although, that doesn’t sound bad at all).

All you taste here is the decadence of the chocolate.

9. Cinnamon-Apple Twist Bread

This cinnamon-apple twist bread is the ultimate fall comfort food.

From the bread to the apple filling to the sweet glaze on top, this bread gets a perfect score.

You won’t just love the flavor combinations, but the bread’s pillowy texture as well.

Don’t be intimidated by how intricate the design is! It’s just a matter of slicing and twisting, so it's nothing complicated at all.

10. Swedish Sandkaka (Sandcake) Recipe

Capping off this list is a Swedish cake that only uses potato flour. Yes, really!

Sandkaka roughly translates to Sand Cake. Can you guess why? Yup, it's the mouthfeel you get from using the potato flour.

It may not sound pleasant, but it's actually quite tasty!
