Potato flour is often confused with potato starch, but potato flour is produced from the entire dehydrated potato whereas potato starch is produced from the starch only.

The potato baked with zucchini (squash), red bell pepper, onion, carrot, garlic and some meat is popular in Eastern Europe.

I cook it with meatballs and sometimes with meat (beef, pork or chicken); I cook it even with bacon.
