This book presents an assessment of the commercial possibilities of potato flakes, a new form of dehydrated mashed potatoes developed by the Eastern Utilization Research and Development Division, Agricultural Research Service. It contains the results of a market test conducted in the triple-city area of Binghamton, Endicott, and Johnson City, New York, during the summer of 1956. The study explores sales patterns and provides a thorough analysis of consumer attitudes towards a product that could expand the market for potatoes. Drawing on retail store audit data and household consumer surveys, the author provides insights into the potential for potato flakes, addressing rising consumer incomes, changing eating habits, and the trend towards more processed convenient-to-use foods.
