There are two different types of potato flour -- potato flour which is
ground up from cooked potatoes and potato starch. Potato starch
acts more like a binder, like tapioca flour. Potato flour adds more in
terms of flavor in my experience. Depending on the recipe, I have
sustituted potato flakes for potato flour in equal portions, and it turns
out great. I use a bit more of the flakes if I am replacing potato starch.
You may need to do a little experimenting to ensure the liquid/dry
ratio works well for your particular recipe.
Thanks,
