time (in the Jewish section).

make mashed potatoes.

4080.3 | corn starch may work? | WRKSYS::RICHARDSON | | Tue Feb 13 1996 11:56 | 6 |
| If you are using the potato flour as a thickening agent, you can use
corn starch instead - potato starch will actually thicken up even more
than corn starch does. (I practically never use potato starch for
anything except during Passover.)

4080.4 | Thanks for the replies... | NETCAD::BADZINSKI | | Wed Feb 28 1996 11:20 | 10 |
| Thanks for the responses. My primary reason for asking is that I have
a number of Passover recipes that call for potato starch and I'd like
to stick to the recipe if at all possible (I've run into trouble in the
past doing substitutions).
RE: .1, just curious, which Shaws? I frequently shop at the Shaws in
Milford and that would be great if it was that one (very close to
home). Thanks.

4080.5 | Hudson Shaw's (near hLO) had it last year | WRKSYS::RICHARDSON | | Wed Feb 28 1996 12:18 | 13 |
| The Shaw's in Hudson, which is a predominately Portuguese town, carries
a few Passover items near Passover - I was in a hurry last time I was
in there so I don't know if they already have set aside shelf space for
this stuff yet. With Purim next week already, Passover is coming up
fast, so it should be real soon that potato starch and other stuff will
start appearing. I don't actually bother trying to do Passover
shopping at the Shaw's even though it is very close to my house because
they don't have much (not many Jewish people in town). I usually go to
the big Stop n Shop on route 9 in Natick. They have most stuff. Then
I make a run into Brookline in the crowds the Sunday morning before
Pasover starts, to get whatever I couldn't otherwise find.

re: the last
Hudson's population has always been 1/3 Portuguese with the
other 2/3 a mix (getting mixier in the last 25 years)!!!

4080.7 | Shaws in Merrimack has it! | NETCAD::BADZINSKI | | Tue Mar 05 1996 17:06 | 4 |
| Thanks for the information, Charlotte. I lucked out at the Shaws in
Merrimack. Now to find a Haggadah for Passover...
