This heading applies to dried potatoes presented as flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules or pellets. The flour, powder, flakes and granules of the heading may be obtained by steam-cooking and mashing fresh potatoes and subsequent drying of the resulting mash either to a flour, powder or granules or to thin sheets which are cut into small flakes. The pellets of the heading are usually obtained by agglomeration of flour, meal, powder or pieces of potato.

However, the heading excludes products to which other substances have been added so that they take on the characteristics of potato preparations.
