Simple potato processing is an age-old Peruvian tradition. Present day techniques bear great semblance to those utilized many hundreds of years ago. Recent interest in improving potato processing was spurred by production and marketing development, particularly concerning product develepment for mass consumption in urban markets. Efforts to improve tradition processing covered both products and processes. Initial work on potato drying processes gave way to experiences using potato products in mixes with other Andean products, building of a pilot plant and the introduction of appropriate, simple machines. Transfer of the technology through a rural development project resulted in a series of modifications intended to develop adequate processed products, alter plant size and design, and improve final product processing. Although the project was not replicated in its entirety for financial technical and organizational reasons, new ideas and useful knowledge were disseminated.
