Why both potato starch and wheat flour?

The potato starch makes the cookies extra tender and crisp, while the wheat flour gives structure and binding.

How big should the døler be?

The dough is dropped by teaspoon in small mounds, so they become small, crisp cookies that spread out a little during baking.
