How to measure potato flour
The chart entry is “Potato Flour, 1/4 cup = 1 5/8 oz = 46 g”, multiplied by four here for a full cup. The chart lists it by the quarter cup. It is much heavier per cup than potato starch at 152 grams; dried potato flakes, also on the chart, weigh only 43 grams per half cup. A tablespoon is 11.5 grams and a quarter cup 46 grams. Spoon it in and level it. Nothing else in the flour group comes close: semolina and polenta are the next heaviest at 163 grams.
Sources: 184 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Potato Flour, 1/4 cup = 1 5/8 oz = 46 g”, multiplied by 4 for one cup. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
