"Potato Rice" Developed in DPRK
Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The DPRK has recently succeeded in processing potato into "rice", which is tasty and nutritious.

The existing "potato rice" had been made by mixing potato with rice. But new one was made only with potato, which is not dissolved in water and very high in whiteness.

Boiled "potato rice" is delicious like boiled rice and nutritive as the potato contains rich vitamins.

With its powder one can cook various dishes such as bread, kkwabaegi (a kind of zeppole) and noodle which have better taste than those made directly from potato and are good to see.

As it is cooked faster than rice, it makes it possible to save fuel.

Those who have tasted boiled "potato rice" do not spare praise.

Now, a project for industrialization of "potato rice" production is going on in Musan County, North Hamgyong Province, a potato growing district in the country.
