Can anyone tell me the difference in Potato flour and potato starch flour? What are the best uses for each?

Potato flour is dried gound up potatoes. Potato starch flour is the starch only, water-extracted, then dried and ground up. It is the same as the difference between cornmeal and corn starch.

Potato starch is used for thickening, only. Potato flour is used in place of wheat flour in some recipes.

Not true, potato starch is a wonderful addition to many baking recipes. Some of the best cupcakes I ever made had a decent amount of potato starch in them

Like cornstarch, potato starch can be added to regular flour to make it softer, like cake flour; this makes for more tender cakes and cupcakes. And it is used primarily for thickening.
