In the above process, heat-gelatinizable starch powder and heat-coagulable egg are added as setting materials to the mixture. The amounts of the starch and the egg are 1W10wt% and 0.2W2wt% (solid basis) of the raw materials, respectively. The heated and crushed potato can be obtained by steaming or boiling the potato before or after peeling, and crushing the steamed or boiled potato to proper size.
