The invention discloses a method for adding 
potato starch during 
processing fine dried noodles and an application. The method comprises a dough kneading procedure in the fine dried noodle production and is characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) preparing 
potato starch milk according to the proportion of 2-30 parts of dry 
potato starch powder in every 100 parts of flour; (2) adding bolded water of 90-98 DEG C into the 
starch milk, and fully stirring the 
starch milk to prepare pre-gelatinized potato 
starch paste; and (3) adding the 
starch paste and the flour into a dough kneading 
machine to prepare dough. The invention has simple technology and normal-temperature and normal-pressure operation, and fully utilizes the functions of thickening, jellification, adherence, film forming, and the like of the gelatinized potato 
starch paste; the fine dried noodles produced by the method are smooth and elastic, have the advantages of good taste, easy cook, flexibility, and the like, and have better texture index than common fine dried noodles after being tested by a 
texture analyzer; in addition, the potato starch is food 
raw material, thereby having high safety when being used as quality modifying agent of fine dried noodles, and providing a method suitable for industrialized scale production for promoting the quality improvement of basic main food such as fine dried noodles in China.
