摘要：
A system and process for producing an agglomerated potato product from dried flakes and/or granules, and pre-blended dry and wet ingredients. The system and process include pre-blending of dry and wet ingredients such as salt, powdered milk, butter flavors, with warm water and/or oil, followed by mixing with dry potato flakes or the like to produce an agglomerated potato product having a crumbly consistency. This product is delivered by an auger to a conveyor for passage beneath a rotary driven roller for converting the product into a thin layer of small agglomerate type particles which are then delivered to a fluidized bed dryer for reducing the moisture content of the agglomerated potato product to about 6-8%. The resultant dried, agglomerated potato product has a generally granular consistency and is suitable for long-term storage preparatory to finish preparation by water addition to provide a flavorful potato product.
