I've read with interest the trials and tribulations over the use of bulk potatoes to make vodka. Has anyone tried using dried, bulk, processed potato starch? The cost is approx. $1.00 US per pound. Please provide me with any insights you may have.

starch is starch no mater where it comes from. so if you convert to sugar of? that is just what you have.
very little or no flavors,so unless it is real cheep then it is not worth it.
