depends on the recipe I think. when I can I mix the potato starch with ground nuts. I usually use a bit less than 1 cup (pot.startch/nuts) to equal 1 cup of flour.

I hope this isn't over kill, thought it may be helpful.
I personally don't use all of these because we do not use spices other than salt and homegrown herbs, but they look interesting!

You are very welcome... glad it helps.

For 1 cup all-purpose flour:

Substitute: 5/8 cup of potato starch; Matzo cake meal; or a combination of cake meal and potato starch


(*If this is a true compassion then it should be equal to potato starch conversion.)
