Sweet potato powder is a powder made from sweet potato starch. Generally, sweet potato powder is in the form of granules. There are two types: coarse-grained and fine-grained. Coarse-grained sweet potato powder is usually better when purchased at home. Sweet potato powder is the same as Taibai powder. It will become viscous when heated when melted in water. The viscosity of sweet potato powder is higher than that of Taibai powder. Therefore, sweet potato powder is less used when thickening Chinese dishes because the viscosity is more controllable.

Sweet potato powder is often used in making Chinese snacks. Sweet potato powder can also be used for frying. After the marinated ribs are dipped in coarse-grained sweet potato powder and fried, the sweet potato powder can present a crispy texture, and the granular skin can also bring visual effects.
