Studies on seven Indian potato cultivars (‘Kufri Chipsona-1’, ‘Kufri Chipsona-2’, ‘Kufri Chandramukhi’, ‘Kufri Badshah’, ‘Kufri Jyoti’, ‘Kufri Giriraj’ and ‘Kufri Jawahar’) revealed that the tubers of potato cultivars viz., ‘Kufri Chipsona-2’, ‘Kufri Chipsona-1’, ‘Kufri Chandramukhi’ had low content of reducing sugars and high content of dry matter, proteins and specific gravity were found more suitable for processing into flour with high yields. The potato flour of these cultivars resulted in lower non-enzymatic browning with better quality retention during storage period of 6 months.
