Choose a suitable location: sweet potatoes from dry, large, sunny sandy soil have a high flour yield 2. Preparation of starch: Grind the cleaned potato chunks into a starch slurry, then add the starch slurry to clean water and stir while filtering. After settling for 12 hours, pour out the upper layer of starch water, then add clean water (about 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes add 100 kilograms of clean water), stir thoroughly, and filter twice with a fine sieve. After settling, remove the clean water, then put it into a cloth bag to drip the water, take out the wet starch and cut it into small pieces to air dry 3.
