I use potato flour a lot in my baking. Its available at Whole Foods, its not the cheapest of the flours considering it made from POTATOES! By the way Bob's Red Mill flours are far superior if your shopping and trying to make a determination. I find their rice flours to not be chalky at all. For more on why you should support Bob's Red Mill Products check this out:
GET TO KNOW THE REAL BOB (spoiler alert: when he retired he GAVE his company to his employees) But I digress...
Luckily for all us gluten free bakers Bob's Red Mill products are becoming more easily available and Ralphs Grocery Stores and other chain stores are starting to carry a limited amount of his products. However you probably will find more of the standard products and for some reason potato flour is not considered standard.
But you say "Iris I still want to bake using potato flour what do I do?" well, you are in luck! I have discovered that Betty Crocker Potato Buds are gluten free and if you stick them in the food processor and blend them up (still dry not prepared) this makes a perfect substitute for potato flour since that basically what it is.
Don't get a flavored one or anything and be sure to buy the one that actually says "gluten free" right on the box. You can see there are a few additives like preservatives and stuff but its still a great substitute for potato flour when thats what you need and thats all you can find.
