Crispy extruded snacks were prepared by mixing ungelatinized dried potato flours from four different Taewa cultivars and a modern potato cultivar with corn flour at two different ratios (25:75; 50:50), and their quality characteristics studied. All of the potato flours showed differences in colour, dry matter content, starch content and pasting characteristics. Among the extrudates prepared with 25% potato flours, Huakaroro snacks showed an L* value of 51.71, whereas pure corn flour snacks had the highest L* value of 61.22. The b* at both levels of potato flour incorporation were lowest for Tutaekuri snacks. The microstructural characteristics of the extrudates such as cell structure and cell wall thickness changed considerably when potato flour was incorporated (50%) in the extruder feed. Moemoe, Tutaekuri and 100% corn flour snacks had the highest toughness, whereas the highest crispness was observed for the Huakaroro snacks. Lower and higher cold peak viscosities of 91 and 597 cP were observed for corn and Tutaekuri extrudates (in powdered form), respectively. The extrudates with 50% potato flour had higher breakdown and lower final viscosity than those containing 25% flour. The peak G' values were highest for 100% corn, Moemoe and Karuparera snack pastes.
