Abstract
A process for making a tubular shaped hand held convenience snack food type product comprising the steps of formulating dough comprising potato shreds, cellulose gum and starch, extruding the dough through a multiple extrusion nozzle to form continuous ropes having two or more axial cavities which can be filled with savory fillings, optionally compressing the ropes, cutting and crimping ropes to form uncooked cut casings and then cooking and freezing. The dough has a moisture content of about 55% to about 75%, preferably about 60% to about 72%, to facilitate extrusion without impairing the potato shred material.
